Number Of Ingredients 10

SAUCE:
4 boneless pork loin chops, thinly cut
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped, optional
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup chicken broth

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425°F Prepare the sauce, and set aside. Pat the chops dry, and season with salt & pepper, to taste. If desired, use a sharp knife, cut shallow "slits" through the fatty portion of the pork chop (on the outside edge). This helps to prevent the chops from "buckling". In an oven-proof skillet, pour a very thin coat of olive oil. Heat the skillet on medium-high heat until it just begins to shimmer. Sear the chops until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the chops over and turn off the heat. Evenly pour the sauce over the chops and place the oven-proof skillet into the oven. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, if desired. Roast for about 15 minutes (internal temperature should be between 135°F and 140°F). Remove the skillet from the oven. The sauce should be thick and bubbly. Remove the chops onto a plate and cover with foil, to keep warm. If desired, thin the sauce with a splash of chicken broth (about 3-4 tablespoons), and whisk until smooth. Plate the chops and spoon over extra glaze. Enjoy!
