Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper, and set them aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ground ginger until smooth and well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Swirl to coat the pan.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the orange-peanut butter mixture into the skillet. Stir continuously and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them to coat evenly. Let cook for another 1-2 minutes to ensure the chops are warm and fully infused with the sauce.
Serve the pork chops with the sauce spooned on top, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Pair with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
