"A coriander, cumin and garlic rub seasons these delicious pork chops, which are accented by a delicate orange sauce. Prepared in less than 30 minutes, this dish can be served as an easy weeknight supper."

6 boneless pork chops, cut 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick
2 1/4 teaspoons ground coriander, divided use
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
FOR THE ORANGE SAUCE:
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Trim fat from pork chops. Salt and pepper the chops. Combine 2 teaspoons coriander with cumin and garlic; sprinkle over chops.

Saute chops in olive oil over medium heat in a large non-stick skillet until done, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chops from skillet; tent with foil to keep warm.

To make the Orange Sauce, whisk together orange juice, chicken broth, cornstarch, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon coriander. Add to skillet; bring to a boil. Add green onion; reduce heat and simmer 1 minute.
