Ancho Chile Pork Chops image

Spicy broiled or grilled marinated pork chops. I came across this recipe when I wanted to use up some ancho chilies and this fit the bill perfectly. If you want it spicier you may want to add another chili to the marinade mixture. Recipe adapted from Cooking Light (March, 2003). Prep time does not include marinating time (8 hours). Cook time is grilling or broiling time.

Steps:

  • Remove stems and seeds from chilies.

  • Put pork chops in marinating dish or zip-lock bag.
  • Pour chili sauce over chops.
  • Refrigerate marinated chops for up to 8 hours.
  • Spray broiler rack with Pam or prepare grill (spray grill with Pam for easier clean up) for grilling chops.
  • Remove pork chops from dish and prepare grill or preheat broiler.
  • Spray broiler rack or grill with Pam.
  • If grilling, grill for 5-10 minutes each side, basting with marinade.
  • Time depends on degree of doneness desired and thickness of chops.
  • If broiling, brush chops well with marinade.
  • Broiler rack should be 6-inches below heat.
  • Broil for 5-10 minutes per side (brush with marinade when turning chops) depending on degree of doneness and thickness of chops.

I didn't have any ancho chiles, so I used a combination of chipotle and guajillo chiles. The sauce was still very flavorful.

I used bone-in pork chops and they turned out great! The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender.
