Best Pork Chops ever. I salted mine for about 30 minutes and then rinsed and dried. I used fresh Rosemary and doubled it. Since I salted the chops first, I did not add any additional salt through the rest of the process. After baking, the chops needed to be removed from the pan in order to drain the sauce. I left them foil-covered on a tray while I started the mushrooms. 2 minutes for the mushrooms did not seem like enough time. I gave the mushrooms about 6 minutes then added the chops back and cooked for another 2-3 minutes. The chops were completely done (no pink), yet were totally tender and juicy. The tablespoon of soy sauce offset the sweetness of the Balsamic perfectly. The Balsamic was not overpowering. Guests asked what the flavor was, but none guessed that there was Balsamic. I served with roasted rosemary baby potatoes and fresh Honeydew melon. Perfect!

I don't know what the other reviewers did that I didn't do, but I thought this recipe was awful. The pork chop cooking time was too long. Dry and hard. The Balsamic and soy just didn't taste good with pork. Perhaps I used too high of a quality of Balsamic vinegar. It pretty much caramelized, and that was not a good thing. I haven't run into such a failure recipe in a long time. Sorry to be so negative.

OMG this was so easy and so good. I adjusted the ingredients for six servings and used a rosemary infused balsamic vinegar instead of the dried rosemary because the infused vinegar was cheaper than buying a container of dried rosemary and the balsamic separately. It worked like a charm. Made it for my boyfriend's family and we all gave it rave reviews!
