How to Make Cajun Orange Chops

  1. In a shallow glass dish, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Add 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick) to the marinade, ensuring they are coated evenly. Marinate for 10-15 minutes while preheating your grill or broiler.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat or broiler to high. Place marinated pork chops on the preheated grill or broiler.
  4. Grill or broil for 7-10 minutes per side, basting frequently with the remaining marinade. Use tongs to carefully flip the chops.
  5. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
