This recipe for Skinny Baked BBQ Pork Chops will leave you feeling satisfied and your home smelling fantastic! I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:
4 pork chops, trimmed of fat – approx. 12oz.
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup “light” juice
1/2 cup barbecue sauce (lower the sugar content the better – Kraft makes one, but I couldn’t find it..)

Directions:

Season pork chops lightly with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the pork chops to pan.

Cook until beginning to brown (1 to 2 minutes per side). Transfer to a plate (or anywhere but your frying pan)

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the pan (same one the pork was in – toss is right in, don’t clean the pan). Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened (3 to 4 minutes).

Add juice and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated (about 1 minute). Stir in barbecue sauce.

Return the pork chops to the pan, turning several times to coat with the sauce. I just used a fork and rubbed the pork chop around, flipped, and repeat.

If you have an oven proof pan – just leave the all the chops in that to bake with the extra sauce. I do not own one of those gems, so I transferred my chops to a baking dish and poured the extra sauce on top.

Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes – or until the pork chops are not pink in the middle
