Pan-Fried Pork With Balsamic Onions

2 boneless pork loin chops (about 6 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 of a large onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Pound pork chops to about 1/2 inch thick; season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. Add chops and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Move to a plate and cover with foil or an upside-down plate to keep warm. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion to pan, cover and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add vinegar; cook 1 minute. Stir in brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Spoon onions over pork and serve.
