Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 sprig fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by seasoning both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add raspberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 4

Cook the raspberry glaze for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 5

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon the raspberry glaze over them, and allow them to cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

Stir in the unsalted butter to give the glaze a smooth, silky finish.

Step 7

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh thyme sprigs before serving.

Step 8

Serve the pork chops with the raspberry glaze spooned over the top, paired with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
