These balsamic glazed pork chops feature pan-seared pork chops marinated and coated in a balsamic glaze. They are deliciously sweet and tangy and pair wonderfully with any sides you like. Let the meat marinate overnight for maximum flavor, or just thirty minutes if you're in a pinch.

Instructions
In a bowl large enough to hold your 4 pork chops, combine the marinade ingredients: (2 tablespoon olive oil, ½ cup Balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard, minced 1 ½ tablespoon garlic, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 pinch each, salt & pepper). Stir to combine, then place the pork chops into the bowl and marinade refrigerated for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan, with the second portion of oil to medium high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and place them in the pan to cook. Set aside the bowl of marinade to add later.
Cook the pork chops until they take on a brown coloring (they will already be slightly brown due to the marinade), about 3-4 minutes per side. After cooking both sides, add the marinade into the skillet or frying pan around the pork chops and allow to cook for about 3 additional minutes. The glaze will thicken slightly.
Remove the pork chops from the pan, serve immediately. Pour the glaze over the pork chops when serving (if desired).
