Maebells Pan-Seared Sriracha Lemon Pork Chops (275 calories)

One word - yum. That pretty much sums it up.

For serious. I was trying to figure out what else to say at the beginning of this recipe, but there’s really no need.

And that’s when you know something’s really good.



Maebells Pan-Seared Sriracha Lemon Pork Chops

Ingredients:
1 pound boneless pork chops
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
2 tablespoons sesame seed oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce (La Choy is gluten free)
1½ teaspoons sriracha
2 tablespoons oil for cooking

Instructions:
1. Mix the lemon juice, garlic sauce, sesame seed oil, soy sauce and sriracha in a small bowl. Mix well.
2. Place marinade in a plastic bag and pour marinade over top.
3. Place pork chops in fridge to marinate, you can do this anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours.
4. When ready to cook, heat a large skillet to medium heat. Pour 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in the skillet and when
it’s hot, place 2-3 of the pork chops in the skillet. Be careful not to crowd them.
5. Cook for about 3 minutes, flip, and cook another 3 minutes.
6. Remove cooked pork chops and keep warm.
7. Add the last tablespoon of oil and cook the remaining pork chops for 3 minutes on each side.
8. This is great served over brown rice or vegetable fried rice (which, of course, is not included in the nutrition facts below).
9. Depending on the thickness of your pork chops, you may need to adjust your cooking time. I used medium
thickness.
