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.

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.
