Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

5 25 30

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup apricot preserves
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons lime juice
4 boneless pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick and 4 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Combine the onion powder, garlic powder and oregano; sprinkle over pork chops. In a small saucepan, combine the apricot preserves, lime juice and lemon juice; cook and stir over low heat for 10 minutes or until preserves are melted.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook pork in oil over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned on one side. Turn chops; generously brush apricot glaze over cooked pork. Cook 8-10 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Serve with remaining glaze. Yield: 4 servings.
