Ingredients:
2 (about 6 ounces each) boneless thick-cut pork chops
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup sliced onion
Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 350° F.

HEAT oil in medium, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Add pork chops; cook for 1 minute on each side until brown. Place skillet in oven.
