Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotles in adobo
1 teaspoon chili powder
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 3/4-inch-thick bone-in pork rib chops (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
Potato salad or mashed potatoes and wilted spinach, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring the chicken broth, vinegar, maple syrup, chipotles in adobo, chili powder, tomato sauce, garlic, a generous pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer until thick, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce for serving.
  • While the sauce simmers, adjust an oven rack about 4-inches below the heat source and preheat the broiler to high.
  • Put a broiler pan or foil-lined baking sheet under the broiler to preheat for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper, put on the preheated pan and brush with the some of the sauce. Broil the chops, brushing with more sauce, 2 to 3 more times, until cooked through and slightly charred, about 8 minutes (do not flip). Serve the pork chops with potato salad or mashed potatoes, wilted spinach and the extra sauce on the side.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon adobo sauce, from can
6 pork loin chops with bone (1 1/4-inch-thick)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
6 cups low sodium chicken broth or 6 cups water
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 cups uncooked quick-cooking grits
1 2/3 cups shredded smoked gouda cheese
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Whisk together first 4 ingredients, and set aside.
  • Sprinkle pork chops evenly with salt and pepper.
  • Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 155°, turning once. Baste with half of barbecue sauce mixture the last 5 minutes of cooking or when meat thermometer registers 145°.

  • Gouda Grits:.
  • Bring first 4 ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually whisk in grits. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until thickened. Add cheese and butter, stirring until melted.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops. Look for pork chops that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Marinate the pork chops. Marinating the pork chops in a mixture of maple syrup, chipotle peppers, garlic, and spices will help them absorb flavor and tenderize them.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will help them retain their juices and make them even more tender.

Conclusion:

Maple chipotle pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
