Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients. Place pork chops in the bowl with the marinade and combine. Allow pork chops to marinate in the fridge for 10 minutes.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add chopped onions and saute 2-3 minutes. Add the marinated pork chops to the skillet along with remaining marinade.
Cook on medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes then flip and cook another 4-5 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F. Continue to spoon the marinade over the pork chops while they cook.
Remove pork chops from heat, and serve with extra marinade on top. If desired, garnish pork chops with orange slices, fresh rosemary, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
