Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
3 cups cubed peeled butternut squash
1/4 cup orange juice
4 tablespoons reduced-sugar orange marmalade, divided
1/4 cup dried cranberries
4 boneless center-cut pork chops (about 1/4 pound each), trimmed of fat
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add squash; cook, covered, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes, or until tender. Stir in orange juice, 2 tablespoons orange marmalade, and cranberries. Cook, uncovered, 1 minute, or until almost all liquid evaporates.

2. Meanwhile, heat large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper; cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until barely pink in center (155°F).

3. Add remaining 2 tablespoons marmalade; as marmalade melts, turn chops until coated. Serve pork with squash.

Yield: 4 servings. Serving size: 1 pork chop with 1/2 cup squash mixture.
