Winner winner pork chop dinner! I added extra garlic and a little hot pepper relish to give it kick. I also used red onion to add to the sweetness, it came out delicious. I am going to try it with chicken, I think it will be good that way too. Very easy and very good! Thank you for the recipe! - 3/21/10

This was AWESOME! My wife is Thai and generally doesn't like American food but she ate a double portion of this! I made 8 chops, hoping to have some left over. One was left...that's IT! Between myself, my wife and my visiting son they were descended upon with no regard for calorie counting! My bad.. - 12/13/20

I made this using less garlic and a large shallot (instead of small onion). It was delicious - my husband loved it. While I was making this, I had halved small potatoes in the oven cooking (with olive oil, white wine, chicken stock, paprika, white pepper). Easy meal great for winter nights! - 3/12/13

Our family of 4 really loved this and it is definitely on our favourites list. Yes, you can leave out the butter and cut the broth by half. I did not use the 3rd Tbsp of olive oil, my no stick pan was oiled enough. Maybe my chops weren't quite as lean. Just did the calc - saves 143 cals per svg - 2/2/11

Very good glaze and a perfect combo of spices. I intended to follow as written but changed a couple things as I went. First I added ~tbsp of flour before I seared the chops. I cut the chicken stock in half (per other suggestions) and I added raisins to the sauce after it was reduced. Superb! - 5/4/10
