French Onion Baked Pork Chops

Healthy Fact of the Day

Pork chops are an excellent source of lean protein and B vitamins. Caramelizing onions brings out their natural sweetness without added sugars, creating rich flavor with minimal ingredients.

These French Onion Baked Pork Chops transform a simple weeknight dinner into something special with layers of caramelized onions, savory broth, and a golden Swiss cheese topping. The pork stays incredibly tender while baking, absorbing all those rich French onion flavors. It’s an elegant yet easy dish that feels like dining out at home.

If you love these sophisticated flavors, you’ll adore our Pork Medallions for another upscale pork dinner. For more French-inspired comfort, try our Crockpot French Onion Meatballs—they capture that same deeply savory onion essence that makes this dish so irresistible.

    Ingredients

    • 4 pieces pork chops

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 2 large onions, thinly sliced

    • 1 teaspoon sugar

    • 1 cup beef broth

    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

    • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

    • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help cook the pork chops evenly and maintain moisture.
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sugar, then sauté until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
    • Add beef broth, soy sauce, and thyme to the onions, stirring well. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
    • Place the pork chops in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the onion mixture over the top, ensuring even coverage.
    • Combine Swiss cheese and breadcrumbs in a bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the pork chops and onions.
    • Bake the dish in the preheated oven for around 25-30 minutes or until the pork chops are fully cooked.
    • Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure the juices redistribute, providing a moist result.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
