Summer is almost over, sniff-sniff, but I am holding on with a tight-fisted grip.

We have had an amazingly mild summer for Cincinnati, and I have tried to enjoy it to its fullest, spending time outside, biking, gardening and grilling.

Our grill has been well used this summer and we have enjoyed every delicious morsel, well except those burgers I burned to a crisp that once.  No comments Stafford men, a girl is allowed a mistake once in a while, GEESH!

This chop recipe has been enjoyed several times and when I say enjoyed I mean enjoyed.  My hubby gets down right excited when he seems me grilling them up.  He claims it’s the cilantro that gives this recipe the delicious flavor, and he may be partly right, but I think it is the lime juice that helps to tenderize the pork chops so that you are left with a juicy flavorful chop instead of a tasteless dried one, which tends to happen when pork chops are grilled.

I highly recommend buying the thick bone in chops from your butcher for this recipe.  The bone adds flavor to your meat and the thickness helps you from over cooking your chops.

Cook until your chop has an internal temperature of 145° then let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

    I’m majorly depressed that summer is almost over! But I will totally cling onto the last few moments of it with these chops! I don’t eat NEARLY enough pork, and this spicy goodness is making me re-think that! Pinned!

      There is nothing better than a summer grilled pork chop. I will miss summer, but I am looking forward to fall apples and pumpkin everything!

    My husband has been suggesting pork chops for dinner for a while now but… I’m afraid of cooking them! I leave all the meat grilling up to him so perhaps I’ll e-mail him this recipe 🙂

    I’d love to try this, but I can’t find any chipotle chili in adobo sauce that is Whole 30 compliant. Is there a particular brand I should be looking for?

      Hey Grace, I found a sugar free variety at my local Latin American Grocery Store. If you can not find one, make your own.
      Combine in a heavy, covered saucepan and simmer until the liquid is reduced to one cup, about 1 hour:
      12 smoked jalapeno peppers or dried chipotle peppers
      6 tablespoons organic tomato ketchup {whole30 approved}
      1 onion, finely diced
      6 cloves garlic, minced
      1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
      1 teaspoon cumin
      1 teaspoon coriander
      1 teaspoon oregano
      1/2 teaspoon salt
      I store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months- though it usually doesn’t last that long 🙂
