Teriyaki Marinated Baked Pork Chops

This baked pork chops recipe adds a sweet and tangy taste by marinating the meat first in an Asian inspired marinade.

The marinade is an easy mix of soy sauce and orange juice.

It also has a bit of honey for sweetness and ginger for tang.

It is a mix of flavors that works really well together.

I love dinners that come together easily like this one.

A few minutes of preparation, let it sit in the refrigerator for a while and pop it in the oven. An easy dinner recipe at its best.

Here's a great idea: Roast vegetables along side the chops and create and easy 2 pan oven meal.

Look here for a roasted vegetable recipe that will be perfect with these chops.

4 or 6 boneless, pork loin chops or bone-in chops, cut to 1 - 1 1/2 inches thick
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger (or ground ginger if you prefer)

Combine all ingredients except pork chops in a non-metallic container (a glass baking dish or zip lock plastic bag both work well). Stir well and add pork. Marinate for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.

Remember, the longer the pork marinates, the better the flavour.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cook pork for approximately 30 minutes (depending on thickness) or until chops are done.

Makes 4 to 6 portions.
