Baked Pork Chops with Apple Cranberry Sauce

A wonderful fruit sauce adds the perfect touch to these pork chops—try serving with a side of brown rice and steamed broccoli

For pork chops:
4 boneless pork chops (about 3 oz each)
¼ tsp ground black pepper
1 medium orange, rinsed, for ¼ tsp zest (use a grater to take a thin layer of skin off the orange; save the orange for garnish)
½ Tbsp olive oil

Oven−Baked Pork Chops

4 − 3 to 4 ounce lean pork chops, well−trimmed
1 cup low−fat buttermilk
1 cup fine bread crumbs
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

Allow pork chops to soak in buttermilk (in refrigerator) for
at least one hour. In a small bowl combine bread crumbs and
remaining spices. Preheat oven to 425F and spray a cookie sheet
with non−stick spray oil. Spread mixture onto wax paper and dip
each pork chop in crumb mixture. Place chops on prepared cookie
sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until chops are no
longer pink (internal temperature of 160F).
