Orange Glazed Pork Chops

Orange glazed pork chops

I am always looking for a tasty, fast, healthy weeknight dinner.  Here is a new one I tried that is definitely going to be on the rotation.  I cooked the chops on the stove top but they will also be getting the grill treatment…………well as soon as my grill is no longer buried in snow which could be May based on this winter!
