Boneless Pork Chops with Orange & Garlic Sauce and Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Broccoli

 

 

Pork is another meat that is easy to cook and goes well with a lot of side dishes.  I find that like boneless chicken, pork stays juicy with a dusting of flour, searing the meat and cooking on low.  The pork is tender and not dried out.  The simple citrus sauce brightens up the pork. 

A favorite side dish because you can’t go wrong with potatoes.  If using white or gold potatoes leave the skin on for added texture and fiber.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Broccoli:

  • While the potatoes are cooking, microwave the broccoli with a little bit of water.  Cook until tender and can pierce with a fork. Drain  
  • Stir the broccoli and parmesan cheese into the potatoes.  Cover with a lid to keep warm until ready to serve.
