Submitted by hungrykitten

"From TOH Cooking for 2 mag Winter 2007. I'm not a big fan of onions but these pork chops taste really good probably because the onions are cooked for so long."

Just made this tonight....sorry no picture because I was way too hungry to wait!! It was a really good recipe. I'm not crazy about pork chops, but boneless loin chops did sound good to me......and I love onions....DH would eat pork 3 or 4 times a week if I let him......so I tried this and it turned out very nice, only I would increase baking time a bit......our chops were about 3.5 oz. and about 1/2 in thick. After 25 min. just a bit pink in the middle, so I stuck it back in for 5 min. to make sure they were cooked through. I know all ovens are different. I'm just saying watch cooking time. Also, used panko bread crumbs and DH and I both agree it made a nice crunchy topping.
