Preheat the oven to 375 degrees f. Mix 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup together and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a heavy-duty skillet over medium-high heat. Season 2 boneless pork chops with salt and pepper.
Add the seasoned pork chops to the heated skillet and brown the pork chops on each side (approximately 3 minutes per side). Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes - until the internal temperature reaches 140 to 145 degrees f. Remove the skilet from the oven and transfer the pork chops to a rimmed dish.
Add the balsamic vinegar mixture to the skillet and cook over medium heat until while stirring occasionally until it reduces by about one third. Pour the sauce over the pork chops on the serving plate and serve.
