Season the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Seasoning the meat evenly ensures a balanced flavor throughout.
Dredge the seasoned pork chops in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Coating the pork chops lightly helps create a nice crust when seared.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Sear the pork chops in the hot skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to maintain the heat for proper searing.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Letting the meat rest helps retain its juices.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Deglazing incorporates all the flavorful bits stuck to the skillet.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low.

Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
