Balsamic pork chops and veggies is one of those quick and easy meals that looks incredible and tastes even better. It’s done in 30 minutes or less AND it’s something the whole family will love. But I think my favorite part about it is that it’s all made in one pan – meat and the veggies! I LOVE only using one pan.

The ingredient list for this meal is pretty simple, I like to let the balsamic vinegar accent the veggies and pull out their flavors. The other main flavoring I use is garlic, and I don’t even chop it. I just smash the cloves and leave them whole. The flavor can still infuse everything else, but it saves me time!

I usually use peppers for this meal, plus any other veggies I happen to have on hand. Usually, this is my “clean out the fridge” meal because it can use up a small amount of a variety of vegetables. For these photographs, I used bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and some mushrooms a friend gave to Andy.

And yes, I realize that the last part about the mushrooms sounds super sketch. HA! But they were legitimate morel mushrooms and we were trying them out for the first time and cooked them a few different ways. More on that later, because I don’t like mushrooms. But these weren’t bad!

The key to this recipe is to have a heavy, really hot pan and thin cut pork chops. Unlike steak, I prefer a thin pork chop. I find them easier to cook and keep moist, and they work better in a lot of recipes when they are thin. {If you need more information on cooking meat, check out this post on meat cooking temperatures!}

The hot pan makes it easy to get almost instant color on the vegetables, without having to cook them for too long and make them mushy. No one likes mushy veggies! Except for my baby, she loves mushy everything.

I used honey balsamic vinegar in this recipe, but plain balsamic will work great. Add a small amount and then taste it to be sure you are going to like the tang of the full amount the recipe calls for. I find that different brands of balsamic vinegar vary greatly in potency and taste.

Let me know if you try out this recipe and how you like it!

Notes

Regular balsamic can be used, or you can substitute in a flavored balsamic like honey balsamic. If you are unsure how potent your balsamic vinegar is, add 1 tablespoon, taste, and adjust from there. I find different brands of balsamic vinegar vary greatly in taste and potency.
If your liquid starts to evaporate too quickly but the pork chops are not cooked through yet, add more beef broth to the pan.
