Orange Pork Chops

This recipe is dummy proof. If you want to use 1/2” thick chops, sear them for 4 minutes a side. I still prefer a 1” thick chop. These chops can be grilled or broiled as well. They just need to be finished off in the orange sauce in another pan.
If you have children and want to use boneless pork chops: SHAME!!! You deserve to be paraded naked down the street and ridiculed just like Game of Thrones’ Cersei. Teach your children to clean them bones. Let them know that boneless is for classless people who don’t like flavor. If you don’t like bone in chops yourself: SHAME!!! But in all seriousness: stop being a little bitch and eat bone in pork chops. SHAME!!!
