Sassy Pork Chops




This is a recipe that I created this afternoon and it got rave reviews at dinner tonight so I figured I'd share it. Hope you enjoy!

 
1 lb. boneless pork chops
Seasoned salt
3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 c. balsamic vinegar
6 oz. apricot nectar
1 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. crushed garlic
1-2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

 
Heat olive oil in large skillet. Season both sides of pork chops with seasoned salt.
Brown pork chops at medium-high heat in olive oil, about 2 minutes on each side, but don't cook them all the way through.
Remove pork chops from skillet and set aside. Reduce heat to medium. Pour balsamic vinegar into skillet and then add apricot nectar and cornstarch. Stir until sauce begins to thicken slightly, then add garlic and Worcestershire.
Place pork chops back in skillet and spoon pan sauce over them. Cover skillet; reduce heat to low and cook pork chops for 15-20 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 150-160 degrees. Be sure to turn pork chops once during cook time.
