Balsamic Pork Chops

Mr. Food

Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 15 min

What You'll Need:

• 4 (3/4-inch-thick) boneless center-cut loin pork chops
• 2 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/3 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoon light brown sugar

What To Do:

1. Sprinkle chops evenly with lemon pepper. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot; add chops. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chops from skillet; keep warm.
    
2. Combine vinegar, broth, and brown sugar in skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits from pan. Cook over medium-high heat 4 minutes, or until mixture is reduced to a thin sauce. Spoon over chops.
    

Notes:

Usually when you brown meat in a skillet, little caramelized bits of the meat will cling to the pan. These little nuggets are full of flavor, so 'deglaze' the skillet like the fancy chefs do. Add a little liquid to the skillet and stir the bits into a tasty sauce, like in this recipe.
