Balsamic Pork Chops

September 15, 2014 by Jaida 1 Comment

Oh Monday, how did you get here so quickly again? Last week seemed to just fly by. I did get the majority of my looooong to-do list done, though, so at least there’s that. And most importantly, we got J’s passport application turned in…wooohooo!! The cruise in December can’t get here soon enough!! Until it does though, I’ll have fun daydreaming about and planning for some fun adventures when we get to our exotic destinations.

Balsamic Pork Chops
And while these pork chops aren’t “exotic” per se, they are definitely worthy of date night ratings. As in, you could make these at home and enjoy a restaurant-grade meal with your honey. Without the crowds, noise, or a hefty price tag. Yep, yep. Of course the balsamic sauce wouldn’t have anything to do with my love for them. Really. Ok, maybe a little bit, but the thick-cut pork chops cooked to perfection and covered in the sauce and served with your favorite sides – how could it be any better??

I think I have mentioned a few times that I don’t cook pork chops often because I haven’t found many ways (non-fried) to cook them where I am impressed by them.Well friends, I have found one. And now I want some of them for breakfast. At 5:30 am. I’ll refrain though. That might be a little weird.

You, however, should make these for dinner. Soon.

Balsamic Pork Chops
As seen on Bakerette
Ingredients
  • 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 4 (3/4 inch-thick) boneless pork chops
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • 1 can (14 1/2-ounce) chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

Preparation

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together flour, rosemary, salt and pepper.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook about a minute, until fragrant. Dredge the pork chops in flour, add to the skillet, and cook about 4 minutes on each side. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  3. Add broth and vinegar to the skillet and scrape the bottom to loosen any browned bits from the bottom.
  4. Cook for about 6 minutes at a medium simmer, or until balsamic mixture is reduced by half. Add the pork chops back to skillet and cook for 5 minutes or until cooked through. Don’t overcook or they will be dry and tough.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
