Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions:

1. Season the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Pork Chops: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
4. Add Honey and Herbs: Stir in the honey, thyme, and rosemary, and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
5. Cook the Pork Chops: Return the pork chops to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the skillet and cook the pork chops for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
6. Serve: Transfer the pork chops to a serving platter and spoon the vinegar sauce over the top. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
