Pork Chops With Caramelized Orange Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 pork chops, bone-in, 1/2-inch thick, fat trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Preparation

Drizzle olive oil into a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, season pork chops with paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Once oil in skillet is glistening, brown pork chops on both sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, brown sugar, orange marmalade and apple cider vinegar.
Lower skillet heat to medium-low. Pour liquid mixture over chops and cover skillet. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, occasionally flipping chops and scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to keep them from burning or sticking.
Just before serving, increase skillet heat to medium-high for 3-5 minutes until the sauce caramelizes (darkens and thickens slightly) to your preference. Watch closely in order to prevent from burning.
Serve chops over hot, cooked rice with sauce spooned over all.
