Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
For the sweet and sour glaze:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, to taste. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add pork chops and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 140 degrees F, about 8-10 minutes. To make the sweet and sour glaze, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve pork chops immediately with sweet and sour glaze.
