How to Make Pork Chops In Orange Apricot Sauce
- Pat 4 (1-inch thick) pork chops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.
- While pork chops are browning, prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup apricot preserves, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Transfer the browned pork chops to a slow cooker.
- Pour the orange juice mixture into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Pour the glaze over the pork chops in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the pork chops are fork-tender.
- Remove pork chops from the slow cooker. Cut 4 orange slices in half. Twist each half slightly and place on top of each pork chop.
- Serve the pork chops over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley (optional).
