Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 large yellow onions
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, place the pork chops in the pan and sear each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Cover loosely to keep warm.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add the butter, and let it melt. Slice the onions thinly and add them to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet with the onions. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the balsamic vinegar and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 6

Add the Dijon mustard and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let them cook for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot with the tangy onion sauce spooned over the pork chops.
