Grilled Pork Chops and Peaches are a great way to enjoy seasonal peaches layered on top of perfectly seasoned and grilled bone in pork chops with a citrus balsamic vinaigrette.

I had a pretty busy weekend.  I competed in a spartan race on Saturday with a few of my girls from crossfit.  I thought it would be fun, something different and challenging…. ummmm, yep it was challenging, muddy and pretty much exhausting.

What was I thinking?

Well, I can mark that one off my bucket list. Can’t imagine that will ever be something I want to do again.  Just saying.  Not only was it challenging, but I have never been that dirty in my life.  I had to wash my hair three times before I was confident it was clean.   Enough about my muddy weekend, and more about this amazingly delicious pork chop recipe.

WHY YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS GRILLED PORK CHOP AND PEACHES RECIPE.

The key to getting your pork chops just right on the grill is to let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before you put them on the hot grill.  Seasoning these bone in pork chops perfectly with salt, pepper and chili powder will give you a great seasoned chop.

This homemade citrus balsamic vinaigrette is a great flavor layer that compliments not only the grilled pork, but also the fresh peaches.  I used the remaining vinaigrette to top a simple salad to serve along the chops.

When you choose your peaches choose peaches that are firm with just a little give when you give them a gentle squeeze with your whole hand. Before grilling lightly brush the cut side of the peaches with a bit of olive oil, if your grill is not seasoned, and start with cut size down first before flipping. You just want your peaches to soften not fall apart.
