Ingredients
\n\u2022\t4 teaspoons ancho chili powder
\n\u2022\t1 teaspoon kosher salt
\n\u2022\t6 (10-ounce) center cut bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
\n\u2022\t2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Directions
\nIn a small bowl, combine the chili powder and salt and sprinkle evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
\nIn a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium, and cook until desired doneness, about for 4 to 6 minutes.
\nIn a small skillet, over medium-high heat, add the balsamic vinegar and cook until reduced by half. Stir in the maple syrup and chicken stock. Cook over medium heat until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.
\nTransfer to a serving platter and serve with the maple syrup. Garnish with toasted pecans, if desired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
