Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (lean center-cut, 1/2-inch thick, fat trimmed)
- 1 yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Trim any excess fat from the 4 pork chops.
- Place pork chops in a single layer in a 13x9-inch baking pan.
- Spread the sliced yellow onion evenly across the tops of the pork chops.
- Sprinkle the salt evenly over the onions and chops.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and refrigerate for 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Keeping the pan tightly covered, bake for 30 minutes.
- Carefully uncover the pan, turn each chop over, rearrange the onions across the tops, and continue baking uncovered for 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 °F.
Notes
Let the chops rest for 3 to 5 minutes after removing from the oven to allow the juices to redistribute before serving.
