Cooking perfect pork chops is very easy to do, but there are a couple of guidelines. If your pork chops aren't organic, it's best to brine them several hours before cooking them, which will improve the flavor and juiciness. Browning the chops on both sides in a skillet and then pan-roasting them in the oven will also ensure deliciousness, as long as you monitor their temperature with an instant-read thermometer. In this recipe, the caramelized onions smother the chops while they're finishing in the oven.
