4. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of drippings from the skillet and add the orange juice mixture. Raise the heat to medium-high and stir, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan, until the sauce is reduced and slightly syrupy. Return the pork chops to the pan, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, turning the pork chops a few times in the sauce.
5. Transfer the chops to serving dishes and drizzle with some of the sauce. Pour the remaining sauce into small serving bowls and serve alongside chops.
