Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 4 pork loin chops, 1 inch thick
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 pinch garlic powder to taste
- ½ pint red grape tomatoes, halved
- ½ pint yellow grape tomatoes, halved
- 3 cloves garlic, diced
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 2 ½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions
- 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.

My wife and son said it was ok, I had hot dogs. Didn’t like it at all.
Feta cheese was a hit. Love the dinner and so did my friends. Thank you so much for a great dinner!!!!!!
We didn’t think a pork chop has the right texture for this recipe. However, the sauce is a great basic sauce that would be good just with bread, or chicken as other’s have mentioned. Probably good with scrambled eggs for a wonderful brunch. I too replaced fresh basil for the dry, the equivalent is 1/4 cup of fresh basil. Of course, I added extra garlic as well.
This was fantastic!
Made no changes and it was delicious!! Definitely a keeper
It is a great recipe. I loved it exactly as it is. I used feta cheese but I think it also would work with blue cheese, if you cannot get the feta. I accompanied it with Sally’s mashed potatoes & spinach, also an allrecipes.com recipe. It was a delicious lunch!
This was amazing!! It had great flavor and was super simple. I made it exactly as described.
We liked this – the pork was very tender. The tomatoes, onion and cheese were a nice addition. It’s fairly easy to make – we’ll make it again.
Oh. My. God. This is delicious! If you’re like me and don’t really like pork, this recipe may just change your mind. It’s amazing! We make it all the time now. As another reviewer suggested, I also used 2 cans of diced tomatoes. I add the juice from one can. If I don’t have basil, I don’t miss it. I’ve kept everything else the same.
4.5 Stars. I made this last night. I did grill the chops. Very good.
Wow! The flavor! I took extra time to caramelize the onions. Next time I’ll use 2 onions since it reduces so much. chopped fresh basil worked great.
Delicious I used double the amount of balsamic. Overall super yummy!
This dish was surprisingly very good. I added petite potatoes and pearl onions for added flavor and yumminess!n Francine Michelle Howze
Forgot the basil and skipped the feta. An instant favorite, easy to make and filling.
One of our favourites! The fresh basil and balsamic vinegar brings this recipe to the next level.
I chose chicken instead of pork chops. I added bean almandine for a side and hubby was blown away. It was fantastic.
Delicious and easy!
I follow the recipe and Needs MORE Salt .. Served to 2 buddies who are Chiefs . They Loved the flavors – Yet Lacked salt .. I had to agree even as a “newbie ” ( just started cooking After NO Experience 4 yrs a go I could burn water .. REALLY
The whole family loved it!
I made this recipe as written except for using thinner pork chops that were on sale. I just adjusted the cooking time and it worked well. My husband suggested adding this to our regular rotation so I think it was a hit! Tasty and fairly quick to prepare makes it a hit with me.
Everyone liked it and it was a great way to use up the bounty of grape tomatoes at this time of year.
