How to Make Pork Chops With Balsamic Vinegar

Pat 4 (6-ounce) pork chops dry with paper towels. Season generously with lemon pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Add pork chops to the skillet and cook undisturbed for 8 minutes for a beautiful sear.
Flip the chops and cook for another 7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside to rest; keep warm.
Add ½ cup chicken broth and ¼ cup balsamic vinegar to the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and thickened to a syrupy consistency (about 3-5 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter until melted and smooth.
Spoon the balsamic glaze generously over the pork chops.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
