Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Pound chops to 1/4 thickness.
  2. Spread 2 tablespoons pesto on 1/2 of each chop. I use the ridge in the middle of the chop that resulted from the butterfly cut as a dividing line.
  3. Fold the top half of the chop down over the pesto side and using the back side of a heavy knife (the opposite side of the sharp side) pound around the outside edge to seal.
  4. Brown the chops in a scant amount of oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 mins per side.
  5. The chops will finish cooking in a 350 degree oven while you carmelize your sliced onion in the pan juices and deglaze with 1/2 cup white wine. Allow to reduce by half.
  6. To serve, pour sauce over chops.
  7. Goes nice with a side of French potatoes French Potatoes.
