Ingredients

• salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• black pepper to taste
• 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
• 3 cloves garlic, diced
• 1 pinch garlic powder to taste
• 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 4 pork loin chops, 1 inch thick
• 2.5 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 pint red grape tomatoes, halved

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until golden brown; transfer onion to a plate and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder; place in the skillet and cook to desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Set aside and keep warm.

Step 3

Heat remaining olive oil in the skillet; add cooked onion, tomatoes, garlic, and basil. Cook and stir until tomatoes are tender, about 3 minutes. Mix in balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Top chops with the onion and tomato mixture, and sprinkle with feta cheese to serve.
