Orange Glazed Chops

Pork Chops in the Marinade

The finished product!

Orange Glazed Chops

3/4 Cup Light Italian Dressing

1/2 Cup Orange Juice

3 Green Onions, chopped

4 Tbsp firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 tsp grated orange peel (optional)

4 boneless pork chops (about a pound)

Marinade:

Combine dressing, orange juice, chopped green onions, brown sugar, and grated orange peel together.

Lay pork chops in an 8x8 baking dish.  Pour marinade over pork chops and refrigerate for at least half an hour.  The longer the better.

Heat oven to 350.  Bake for 20 minutes, flip the pork chops, and bake for an additional 20 minutes.

I got this recipe on the Slim Fast website and made some changes to it to make into something my family would like.  The biggest change was the baking.  They have you grill or broil the pork chops.  I personally prefer baked pork/poultry over grilled...I believe it comes out more juicy and tender.

I thought the flavor of this marinade was yummy!  I loved the light citrus flavor and the green onions added a nice "kick" to it.  The pork chops did indeed come out juicy and tender.   My oldest son (who is a VERY picky eater) had seconds and then thirds, so that is successful in my book!
