I'm constantly on the lookout for ways to "spice up" a standard dish. When I fixed these pork chops for the first time, my husband-who has a hearty appetite for down-home cooking-commented, "You can make this anytime!" We have a 5-month-old son, and he's already showing signs he'll take after his dad in the eating department. Our daughters, 6 and 8 , help me with the cooking. So it's a good thing that I have a large recipe collection!

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe oranges with thin skin and a deep orange color.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will release the flavorful oils from the orange peel and add depth to your sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chops: This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming tough.
  • Cook the chops over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Baste the chops with the orange sauce while they cook: This will help them stay moist and flavorful.
  • Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Orange chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. With a few simple tips, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook pork chops, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
