   • Dredge each seasoned pork chop in the all-purpose flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. This will create a nice crust when cooking.

3. Heating the Skillet:

   • In a heavy skillet or pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to get a good sear on the pork chops.

4. Searing the Chops:

   • Place the pork chops in the hot skillet and brown them on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden crust.

5. Preparing the Glaze:

   • While the chops are browning, in a separate bowl, combine the orange marmalade, brown sugar, and vinegar. Mix everything together until well combined.

6. Adding the Glaze:

   • Once the pork chops are nicely browned, pour the orange glaze mixture over the chops in the skillet.

7. Bringing to a Boil:

   • Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. This will help the flavors meld together.

8. Simmering:

   • Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the pork chops simmer in the glaze for 40-45 minutes. This allows the flavors to infuse into the meat.

9. Thickening the Sauce:

   • After the initial simmering time, remove the lid and let the sauce continue to simmer uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes. This will help the sauce thicken up nicely.

10. Final Touches:

    • Once the sauce has reached your desired thickness and the pork chops are cooked through, remove them from the skillet.

11. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Plate the orange-glazed pork chops, spooning extra sauce over the top. 🍽️ Serve them hot alongside your favorite sides. 🥗

Serving Suggestions:

• This dish pairs wonderfully with creamy Fettucine Alfredo or a side of fluffy mashed potatoes.
• Garnish with fresh orange slices or a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Tips:

• For a more caramelized glaze, you can broil the pork chops in the oven for a few minutes after simmering.
• Adjust the sweetness of the glaze to your liking by adding more or less brown sugar.
• Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when browning the pork chops to ensure they get that perfect golden crust.
