BREADED PORK CHOPS SMOTHERED WITH ONIONS.

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Place chops first in egg and than in bread crumbs. Wet your hands a little with water and dampen each side of chop alittle(this prevents burning) fry each side for a few minutes until golden brown.
• If you use chicken broth, add 1 chicken bouillon cube. If you use water add 2 bouillon cubes.

PORK CHOPS SMOTHERED IN CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Season both sides of pork chops with garlic powder, sage, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Melt 2 tbs. butter in a large skillet over medium heat, evenly coating the bottom of the skillet.
• Increase heat to medium-high. Cook both sides of chops for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned. (Note: It is okay if the chops are not completely done, as there is more cooking time to come.).
• Push chops to outside edges of skillet. Melt the remaining 1 tbs. butter in the center of the skillet and add onions to the center of the skillet, sprinkling with sugar.
• Replace skillet cover and cook for 10 minutes, frequently tossing and stirring onions with a spatula. Onions are caramelized when tender and medium-brown in color. My husband prefers cooking them until slightly burned, as the flavor intensifies. (Note: Don't forget to watch your chops to make sure they don't burn.).
• Check chops for doneness before serving. They will be done when a fork piercing the thickest part of the chop draws clear juice. If the juice is pink, cook chops a bit longer until done. (Note: Make sure to watch onions, so they don't burn.).
• Serve pork chops with caramelized onions piled on top.
