- Remove pork chops, and keep warm by tenting with foil.
Cook the onions

- Add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Reduce heat and let the sauce reduce slightly (about 5 minutes).
Finish up
- Add pork chops back into the skillet and turn in the sauce, covering completely.
Rest
- Rest pork chops for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
Serve
- Serve with the onions, spooning some extra sauce over the top.

Notes
- Substitutions/Additions
- Add a little garlic powder or onion powder to the seasoning to add another level of flavor.
- Can I use bone in pork chops?
- Absolutely! Use what you have. Watch your cooking times, and be sure that the pork is cooked fully. Thick bone in chops will take longer than boneless chops.

- Pork chops should be cooked to 145 degrees F when tested with a digital thermometer in the thickest part.
