In a very hot skillet, sear the pork chops on both sides until marked and browned.

Sprinkle olive oil on both sides of the pork chops, lower the temperature to low, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes.

Combine 2 cups of chicken broth with 2 cups of root beer in a saucepan and reduce over medium heat for about 20 minutes until it thickens to about 1/2 cup.

Brush the glaze over both sides of the cooked pork chops.

Combine any leftover glaze with the sautéed onions and spread over the pork chops when serving.
