Chicken is definitely our go-to for healthy eating.  We always have it on hand, it's super quick cooking and takes on the flavors of whatever we cook it with - not to mention high protein, low fat ... talk about a win-win!  Well tonight we are switching things up with the other white meat (pork!) which shares all the same healthy characteristics of our go-to chicken breast. 
 

 

We love to cook with boneless, organic pork chops and they just happen to be one of our hubs favorites :)  Tonight we have a total fake out meal for you!  We are making our pan-fried, breaded orange & rosemary crusted pork chops & yes, we promise they are healthy.  In fact, they come in at just 348 calories per serving!


We start by trimming away any visible fat on our chops.  We dip them in orange juice seasoned with rosemary, salt & pepper then coat them in a crispy, panko finish.  We pan fry these in just 2 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil (don't worry it's the heart healthy fat!) and splash in a touch of orange juice to glaze.

 

These are SO delicious we challenge you to serve them up to your family and see if they have any idea they are eating 'health food' ... hope you enjoy!
