PointsPlus™ Value: 5

We added fresh cilantro, orange juice and zest to bottled barbecue sauce for convenience and terrific flavor. It's especially good drizzled over the onions.

Ingredients

• 3 spray(s) cooking spray, divided
• 6 Tbsp barbecue sauce, Chipotle flavored
• 2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped (plus more for garnish if desired)
• 1 tsp orange zest
• 2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
• 1 pound(s) lean pork loin, four 4 oz boneless chops, 3/4-inch-thick each
• 1/2 medium vidalia onion(s), cut into four 1/4-inch-thick rounds

Preparation

Step 1

Off heat, coat grill rack or a large grill pan with cooking spray; heat grill or set pan over medium heat.

In a medium bowl, combine barbecue sauce, cilantro and orange zest. Remove 2 tablespoons of sauce to a small bowl and stir in orange juice; set aside. Add chops to medium bowl; toss to coat with sauce.

Coat onions with cooking spray. Add onions and pork to grill or grill pan. Grill over medium-high heat, turning once or as needed, until onions are lightly charred and tender and pork is just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Transfer pork to serving plates; separate onions into rings and scatter around pork. Drizzle each serving with 1/2 tablespoon of reserved barbecue sauce mixture; sprinkle with extra chopped cilantro. Yields 1 pork chop and 1/4 of onions per serving.
