This was absolutely wonderful. Easy and quick to make. The only change I made was to substitute white wine for the chicken broth. MMMMM!

My whole family enjoyed this. I did cut down a tad on the balsamic vinegar because my husband isn't a huge fan. I also omitted the capers, didn't have any and don't really like them anyway. Quick and easy and tender!

When I found out I was having more for dinner than what I had orginally planned I added some chicken breast to go along with the pork loin chops. They worked out great. I reduced the balsamic vinegar, just because that is all I had in the house. The flavors were wonderful and it was easy to do most of the prep before company arrived. This sounds more involved than it is and the results look and taste like a lot more work than is actually involved. My guests loved it. My chops were not tough at all and neither was the chicken. Will definitly make again.
