Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.3333 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once the oil shimmers, add the pork chops to the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add balsamic vinegar, honey, chicken broth, and chopped rosemary to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the balsamic glaze over the chops to coat them evenly.

Step 8

Continue cooking the pork chops in the skillet for another 4-6 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the pork chops from the heat and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the pork chops with the balsamic glaze spooned over the top, alongside your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
