For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a sprig of fresh rosemary to the skillet while cooking the pork chops. The quality of the balsamic vinegar significantly impacts the final flavor of the glaze. Opt for a high-quality, aged balsamic for the best results. Serve these balsamic glazed pork chops with roasted asparagus, mashed sweet potatoes, or a fresh arugula salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
02
StepIn a large, nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add olive oil and stir to combine, creating a flavorful base. (1 minute)
03
StepOnce the butter and oil shimmer, carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the skillet. Cook over medium heat until deeply browned on one side, achieving a beautiful crust. (5-6 minutes)
04
StepTurn the pork chops and continue cooking until they are no longer pink in the center and browned on the other side. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) using an instant-read thermometer. Avoid overcooking to maintain their succulent tenderness. (3-4 minutes)
05
StepRemove the cooked pork chops from the skillet and cover them loosely to keep warm while preparing the balsamic glaze. (1 minute)
06
StepIn a small saucepan, whisk together the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat slightly and simmer until the glaze reduces to approximately 1/2 cup, intensifying its flavors. (5-6 minutes)
07
StepDrizzle the luscious balsamic glaze generously over the pan-fried pork chops. Serve immediately and savor the harmonious blend of savory and sweet.
