Paprika Pork Chops With Bbq Glaze And Sweet Onions

Why I Love This Recipe
This is a great week night alternative to chicken. Little prep or cook time involved. One pan cooking. I spread the onions on a serving platter, top with the pork chops, drizzle with a little more of the BBQ sauce, garnish with a thyme sprig, and I'm done. Fresh green salad on the side.
Ingredients You'll Need
4 boneless pork loin chops, about 1 inch thick, trimmed
3/4 t salt, divided
1/2 t smoked paprika (pimenton)

1/4 c prepared BBQ sauce
Directions
1. Sprinkle chops on both sides with 1/2 t salt, paprika and pepper; set aside.
