I made this recipe last night and they were very moist. My husband is a very picky eater and he loved them. This was an easy inexpensive dish to prepare. Thanks! -
The whole family enjoyed this one and it was so easy! -
I made this yesterday pretty much as listed except used two thick bone-in pork chops and used regular flour ( mixed with the water ) instead of the corn flour/starch. Pork chops and the sauce we excellent! -
I made this for dinner tonight, and the whole family enjoyed it. Inspired by one of the photos, I used red peppers instead of green and served it with steamed broccoli and white rice. It looked really nice on the plate and tasted even better. The citrus and the sweetness of the brown sugar are a perfect match. Thanks for posting. -
great week night meal. my pork chops where really thick took an extra 5 min, i used the juice from the can oranges since i didn't have any orange juice and i used cornstarch since i didn't have cornflour. i added green and red pepper slices along with onions.. added them once i put the chops back in since the veggies where frozen then added the oranges the last 5 min. served over white rice with biscuits on the side. the sauce is very yummy and made the dish stand out from other pork chops recipes i have tried. thanks for sharing :)

I had to make some substitutions but this was so great! I didn't have any stock or boullion so I used a few good pinches of poultry seasoning - not really the same, I know, but it was tasty. I used a can of green chilies instead of the bell pepper. I'm glad I had them b/c otherwise the sauce would have been too sweet for my taste. In fact, next time I might add a pinch of chili flakes or cayanne. Also, I used cornstarch instead of cornflour. I think the sauce will be great with almost any protein. I think it would be great with shrimp or over tilapia. This is definitely a keeper! -
Sooo good. This was a great recipe. Everyone loved it especially the sauce. I have made it twice. Both times I used cornstarch instead of the cornflour and it was fine. The first time I made it as directed. The second time I had a pork roast, so I made just the sauce and served it with the roast. I will make it again. Loved it and it was very easy to throw together.

I can't believe how much I loved this. I was nervous because I didn't have the chicken stock powder and I used 1/4 cup beef stock instead of water to hopefully make up for it and it turned out fine. I will definitely be trying out this sauce on different types of meat. -
Very good! My hubby even said that he really liked it and he usually doesn't like pork chops. I did use the suggestion to add some dijon and use white wine instead of water. I also threw in some dried red pepper flakes, since we like spicey dishes. Served over white rice and enjoyed every bite! Thanks!
