Easy Glazed Pork Chops

This one's so easy and one I that always gets requested when my girl comes home to visit. Served with a bed of greens you can enjoy it with a glass of wine guilt free. 

Here's the Flavor:
2 Tbsp Grade B Maple Syrup
2 Tblsp Dijon mustard
2 Tblsp EV Olive Oil
1 Tblsp Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Hint: I mix a little of this with my salad dressing.

Use thin cut chops, they cook fast making this a meal in under 20 minutes. Covers about 6 chops nicely. Dip your chops in the sauce, place in a pan. Cook on both sides for about 3-5 minutes (depending on how thick your chops are) on med-high heat. Once they're done, remove them from the pan, add about 2-3 Tablespoons of water to the pan, put it back on the heat and add the leftover dip. Cook to reduce and pour it over the chops. Serve with 2 cups chopped baby greens tossed in a balsamic dressing. Quick, easy, delicious.
