STUFFED ORANGE GLAZE PORK CHOPS



Stuffed Orange Glaze Pork Chops image

Tasty pork chops with a simple bread and celery stuffing, and a sweet and sour orange marmalade sauce. The original recipe, from McCall's Greatest Recipe Card Collection, called for 4 rib chops cut 1-1/2" thick (2 lbs. total) with a pocket. Instead of the rib chops I use boneless pork chops, place stuffing between two of them, then tie them together with kitchen string. Then I adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of the chops. You can adjust the seasonings to suit your taste too. The stuffing is also good with chicken breasts. Serve with a green veggie or salad and baked potatoes for dinner. Note: Edited to remove some of the salt and reduce the sweetness of this recipe.

EASY GLAZED PORK CHOPS RECIPE BY TASTY



Easy Glazed Pork Chops Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: thick-cut pork chops, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, brown sugar, olive oil

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 thick-cut pork chops
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons brown sugar
olive oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine your spices (paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt).
  • Rub the pork chops in the spices generously.
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium/high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pork chops. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until they have a nice caramelized brownness to them. Once you feel that they are looking browned, add a Tablespoon of brown sugar to each pork chop. Turn each pork chop over, so both sides get some melted brown sugar. (Don't add the brown sugar too early or else the sugar will burn and smoke up the room.)
  • Bake at 350˚F (175˚C) for 15 minutes, making sure the pork chops are cooked through.
  • Before serving, pour the glaze that's formed in the pan over the chops. Serve with your vegetables of choice.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork chops. Look for chops that are thick, firm, and have good marbling.
  • Marinate the pork chops before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like orange juice, honey, and ginger.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chops from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the desired doneness. For medium-rare chops, cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium chops, cook to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. For well-done chops, cook to an internal temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful chops.

Conclusion:

Orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give orange chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
