Tangy orange flavors the marinade and sweet sauce that dress up these tender and juicy chops. Add mashed potatoes or rice and a simple side salad for a fuss-free supper. Mary Chandler - Grand Tower, Illinois

Pork Chops with Orange Sauce for Two Recipe

Prep: 15 min. + marinating Broil: 15 min.

Yield: 2 Servings

15 15 30

Ingredients

1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 bone-in pork loin chops (7 ounces each)
1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Pour a scant 1/2 cup into a large resealable plastic bag; add pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for sauce.
Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill chops, covered, over medium heat or broil 4-5 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and reserved marinade. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Serve with chops. Yield: 2 servings.

Very easy to make, I did not add the orange zest and let it sit for about an hour vs 8 hours still came out great. Husband LOVED it, he could not tell the pineapple juice was in it (not a fan of pineapples). Next time I plan to double the sauce though. We had it with white rice, very filling.
