How to Make Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet.
- Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Add chops to the hot skillet.
- Cook pork chops for 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked pork chops to a platter and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Return the skillet to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
- Sauté the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
- Add 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1/4 cup chicken stock to the skillet.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and thickened, about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and incorporated.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them to coat evenly.
- Serve the balsamic glazed pork chops immediately, alongside your favorite side dishes like rice pilaf.
