Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Position a roasting rack inside a shallow baking dish or roasting pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Generously season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange the seasoned chops on the roasting rack, ensuring they are not touching. Distribute the sliced onions evenly over the top of the chops. (5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the pan, being careful not to let the water level reach the chops. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil or a fitted lid. (2 minutes)

04

Step
1 hrs

Roast in the preheated oven until the pork chops are cooked through and no longer pink in the center, approximately 1 hour. To check for doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of a chop; it should register at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (60 minutes)

05

Step
20 mins

Once the chops are cooked through, remove the foil or lid and return the pan to the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chops are lightly browned and the onions are caramelized. Monitor closely during this final browning stage to prevent burning. (20 minutes)

For enhanced flavor, consider searing the pork chops in a hot skillet with olive oil before roasting. This adds a beautiful crust and seals in the juices.
If the water in the pan evaporates during roasting, replenish it to maintain moisture and prevent the pork from drying out.
Allow the pork chops to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender and flavorful meat.

    This recipe is a lifesaver! My pork chops always come out dry, but this method kept them so juicy.
