Saucy Salsa Pork Chops

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pork chops 
1/2 cup mild salsa (Private Selection® Black Bean & Corn Salsa)
2 tablespoons orange marmalade (apple jelly)
1/2 onion, thinly sliced (optional) 
salt & pepper (omitted, seasoning blends contained both)
garlic powder
onion powder
ground rosemary
paprika
Penzeys Quebec steak seasoning
Penzeys Revolution

1. Heat your oven to 375°F.  (I used 350°)
2. Heat your frying pan to medium.
3. Add the oil to the pan.
4. Add the pork chops. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. *
5. Lightly brown for about 2 minutes per side.  
6. In a separate bowl, combine the salsa and marmalade.
7. Remove the pork chops and place into an oven proof dish. 
8. Smother the chops with the salsa mixture and chopped onions.
9. Put into the oven for approximately 40 minutes.
10. Turn the chops 1/2 way and baste with the sauce. (cover for 1st 20 minutes, uncover, return to oven for remaining 20 minutes, do not flip chops, monitor for doneness so chops don't dry out)
11. Serve with extra sauce over the chops 

I served the chops with Spanish rice and a green veggie

*I mix all my seasonings together then apply to the chops
    Don’t crowd your chops in the skillet, brown one at a time
