Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops.

1. Step 1

   Start by patting your pork chops dry with paper towels, then generously season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance their flavor.

2. Step 2

   In a large nonstick skillet, melt some butter over medium heat, allowing it to become beautifully golden.

3. Step 3

   Once the butter is melted, add a splash of olive oil and give it a gentle stir to combine the two, creating a rich base for your chops.

4. Step 4

   When the butter and oil start to shimmer invitingly, carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the skillet.

5. Step 5

   Let them sizzle away for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until they develop a lovely golden-brown crust on one side.

6. Step 6

   Flip the chops over and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes, keeping an eye on them until they are no longer pink in the center.

7. Step 7

   For the best results, use an instant-read thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

8. Step 8

   Once cooked to perfection, remove the pork chops from the skillet and cover them with foil to keep them warm and juicy.

9. Step 9

   In a small saucepan, mix together chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey.

    Bring this delightful mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, letting it bubble away until it reduces to about 1/2 cup, which should take around 5 to 6 minutes.
