1 tablespoon grated lime peel |
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
6 bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1 cup chicken broth |
1/2 cup orange juice |
2 tablespoons honey |
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro |
