Oven-Barbecued Pork Chops

Oven-Barbecued Pork Chops

Ingredients:
4 bone-in pork chops, 3/4 inch thick (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup orange juice
1/2 cup low-sodium barbecue sauce

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add the pork chops, season with salt and pepper and cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
3. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the orange juice and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the barbecue sauce.
4. Return the pork chops to the pan, turning to coat with sauce.
5. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the pork chops are cooked (internal temperature 145°F), about 7 to 8 minutes.
6. Serve the pork chops topped with sauce.
