Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons water
• ½ cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons dry white wine
• ½ teaspoon dried tarragon
• 4 (6 ounce) boneless pork loin chops

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, and cook in the hot oil until lightly browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Add the wine, orange juice, and tarragon, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes, until the pork is no longer pink in the center. Remove the pork chops from the skillet, set aside, and keep warm.

Step 2

Dissolve the cornstarch in the water, and stir into the simmering liquid until the sauce thickens, about 45 seconds. Pour sauce over the pork chops to serve.
