Orange Pork Chops

I liked this quite a bit... Marvin liked it fairly well... the boys said, “Mom, this would be really good if it didn’t have that sauce on it.”    :)  Basically, they like plain pork chops around here.  Why do I keep trying to gussy stuff up????   Maybe you will have better luck at your house.  :)

Orange Pork Chops

Ingredients:

4 boneless pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick and 5 ounces each)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 garlic clove, minced

1 can (6 ounces) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

2 cups cooked brown rice

Directions:

Sprinkle both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chops for 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned. 

    Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. In the same skillet, cook garlic for 1 minute. Stir in the orange juice concentrate, broth and Worcestershire sauce; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. 

    Pour 1/4 cup sauce over pork. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°, basting twice with sauce. 

    Bring the remaining sauce to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until reduced to 1/2 cup. Serve pork chops with sauce and rice. Yield: 4 servings.
