Step one

Spray 13″ x 9″ (3L) baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) . Combine cornstarch and water (slurry); set aside.
Step two

Season chops with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add pork chops, in batches if necessary; sear each side of chops 2-3 minutes or until they are golden.
Step three

Remove browned chops from skillet and place in prepared baking dish. Add mushrooms, leeks and red pepper to skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Add chicken broth, VH® General Tao Stir-Fry Sauce and reserved slurry mixture to skillet; bring mixture to a boil. Cook 1-2 minutes or until sauce has slightly thickened.
Step four

Pour sauce mixture over seared pork chops. Bake 15-20 minutes or until chops have reached an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C). Serve immediately.
