Steps

1

In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and tender. Transfer mixture to plate.

Season pork chops with pepper. Add to same skillet; cook over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, turning once, until browned (145°F). Remove from skillet to plate; cover and keep warm.
