Balsamic Pork Chops

This is such a quick and easy recipe to do and tasty enough to serve to company. The gravy has a really nice flavor if you like Balsamic Vinegar. This amount serves 8 and can easily be adjusted to serve more or less.

• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 pork loin chops
• salt
• pepper
• thyme
• 2/3 cups of Balsamic Vinegar
• 1 1/2 cups of low sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

1. Sprinkle the chops with desired amount of salt pepper and thyme.
2. Heat your skillet, when the pan is hot add the oil and pork chops. 
3. Brown for about 4 minutes per side. 
4. Remove the pork chops onto a separate platter. Drain off the extra fat. 
5. Add the balsamic vinegar to the hot pan and drippings. 
6. Bring to a boil until the vinegar becomes a bit thicker, that only takes about half a minute.
7. Add the cornstarch to the cold chicken broth and stir to dissolve.
8. Add the chicken broth into the pan and stir until the gravy comes to boil and thickens.  Return the pork chops to the pan. Cook for another 15 minutes. 
9. Serve with mashed potatoes a side of steamed vegetables.
