By Paula Deen

JUMP TO RECIPE

Difficulty: Easy

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes

Servings: 10

Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons ancho chili powder
  • pecans, toasted and chopped for garnish, optional
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 (10-oz) center cut bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup butter maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the chili powder and salt and sprinkle evenly over both sides of the pork chops.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium, and cook until desired doneness, about for 4 to 6 minutes.

In a small skillet, over medium-high heat, add the balsamic vinegar and cook until reduced by half. Stir in the maple syrup and chicken stock. Cook over medium heat until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.

Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the maple syrup. Garnish with toasted pecans, if desired.

My sauce never thickens?

I've made this recipe many times and love it but have to say, my sauce never really thickens? I've cooked for 10 minutes and still does not thicken.  What may I be doing wrong?

You may want to try turning up the heat a bit!

I recommend omitting the chicken stock. I rarely use it in this recipe.

What do you do with the other teaspoon of olive oil?

Our apologies! There should only be one tablespoon in the recipe, not two! We've updated the recipe to reflect this.
