1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup nonfat chicken broth
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon thyme

Sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the chops and
cook 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.

Add the garlic and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, 1 minute, add the broth, vinegar and thyme, and cook, stirring and scraping the bits up from the bottom of the pan, for 2 minutes, or until the liquid has thickened
