Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking.
Bake the Pork Chops: Place the pork chops on a baking sheet and bake them for 30 minutes, turning them once midway through the cooking time for even browning.
Remove Excess Fat: After baking, carefully pour off any excess fat from the baking sheet to keep the dish light.
Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, sliced onion, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add Sauce to Pork Chops: Pour the prepared sauce over the pork chops, ensuring they are generously coated.
Cover and Bake: Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and return it to the oven. Bake for an additional 45 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve: Once cooked, serve these flavorful pork chops with a side of rice to soak up the delicious sauce, making for a truly satisfying meal.
