Thick-cut pork chops with an orange and rosemary glaze. Perfect for an easy weeknight dinner recipe! I get tired of regular pork chops, so why not spice it up??



Watch me make it here!



Serves: 4

Ingredients

Instructions

  • 4 pork chops (I recommend cutting Sam's Club pork loin into chops)

Step 1 Pat pork chops dry with paper towel. Season with salt, peppers, onion and garlic powder.

  • 2 oranges

Step 2 Heat oil in a large pan. Once oil begins to move on its own, add pork chops and rosemary.

  • 2 green onions, sliced and separated into whites and greens

Step 3 Cook for 3 minutes then flip pork chops over and add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook an additional 3 minutes then transfer pork chops and rosemary to a plate and cover tightly with aluminum foil.

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

Step 4   Zest one orange and collect zest in a bowl. Slice both oranges in half.

  • salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and white pepper (enough to season pork chops)

Step 5 In the same pan, add the whites of the onions and lemon zest. On medium-low heat, saute them for one minute.

  • 1 tablespoon honey

Step 6 Squeeze in the juice of both oranges and add honey. Reduce the sauce on medium-low heat until it becomes thicker, about 6 minutes. Stir often so the sauce does not burn.

  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Step 7 Add the rosemary and pork chops back into the sauce, along with 1 tablespoon of butter. Coat the pork chops in the sauce and cook on medium-low heat for 2 minutes. NOTE: Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Use a kitchen thermometer to be sure they are cooked thoroughly before eating.

  • 2 tablespoons butter

Step 8 Remove the pork chops, top with greens of onions, and serve with your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
