For Tuesday night dinner, I decide to try something new since we had nothing going on that evening (which is really a rarity these days with Vaughn's schedule). I saw a delicious looking photo on Pinterest for Balsamic Pork Chops on a bed of yummy wild rice and I knew it would be a hit with my family. Once again, clicking on the pin did not take me to the recipe, so I was forced to improvise since it was on the menu plan and that was THE option for that evening's dinner. After scouring the internet, I found a recipe that I had what I needed to make and I was off!
Balsamic Pork Chops
Ingredients:
- 4 5-ounce boneless pork loin chops, trimmed of fat
- 1/3 cup flour
- Pinch salt
- 2-3 twists freshly ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup fat free, low sodium chicken broth
Preparation:
Dredge each pork chop in flour mixture.
Heat oil on medium heat in 12 inch skillet . Add garlic and cook gently for 1 minute. Add pork chops and cook for 4 minutes each side. Remove and place on a plate, then cover loosely with foil.
Add balsamic vinegar and broth to skillet, stir to deglaze the pan. When liquid has reduced by half, return pork chops to the pan. Cook for 3-4 more minutes, turning once.
Serves 4

On a side note...the picture above is not the picture of chops I made but this is pretty similar to how they looked minus the juicy stuff. The picture on the link to the recipe does not look at all like it! They look glazed and oh my goodness, they were FANTASTIC! I served them with a quick long grain wild rice and some green beans.
