Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Slice the onion into thin strips.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Crumble the feta cheese if not already crumbled.
2. Cook the Onions:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onion, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and tender, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
3. Season the Pork Fillets:
- Season the pork fillets generously with the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
4. Cook the Pork Fillets:
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoned pork fillets to the skillet.
- Cook the pork for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
- Remove the pork fillets from the skillet and set aside to rest.
5. Prepare the Tomato Mixture:
- In the same skillet, add the halved cherry tomatoes and minced garlic.
- Sprinkle with the dried basil and stir well.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.
6. Finish the Dish:
- Return the caramelized onions to the skillet with the tomatoes.
- Add the balsamic vinegar and stir to combine, letting everything cook for another 1-2 minutes.
7. Serve:
- Place the pork fillets on a serving platter.
- Spoon the tomato-onion mixture over the pork.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the top.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve hot and enjoy this delicious balsamic pork chops with feta and cherry tomatoes!

Tips:

- For best results, ensure that the pork fillets are evenly cooked by using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach at least 145°F (63°C).

- Feel free to add other herbs like rosemary or thyme to enhance the flavor profile.

- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.

- If you prefer a more intense garlic flavor, you can minced garlic instead of garlic powder.

- Use fresh cherry tomatoes for a burst of sweetness, but canned cherry tomatoes can be a good substitute in a pinch.

- For added depth of flavor, marinate the pork chops in the balsamic vinegar and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Your Balsamic Pork Chops with Feta and Cherry Tomatoes are now ready to be served. The combination of flavors from the balsamic vinegar, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese provides a delightful and memorable dining experience.
