Definitely agree to cook chops 3 minutes per side, remove from pan and keep warm while deglazing pan with sauce ingredients. And decrease vinegar (I used sherry vinegar) to 2-3 tsp while adding 1 tsp Dijon mustard. No need to double sauce for 4 chops, but increase rosemary.

Followed recipe with half the vinegar. Turned out excellent.
First time, I took the chops out of the pan before making the "glaze." I threw in the ingredients according to instinct. It came out delicious. Second time I followed the recipe more closely, but cut the vinegar in half. Came out terrible--overcooked, unappealing flavor, still too vinegary. I will probably never attempt this again.
