Chili Lime Pork Chops Recipes

GARLIC-LIME PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper, chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder together in a bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on both sides of pork chops.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook pork until no longer pink in the center and golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork chops to a serving plate, reserving juices in the skillet.
• Add lime juice and garlic powder to the same skillet and mix into leftover juices. Stir to combine and pour over the pork chops.

EASY CHILI-LIME PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Measure and mix dry seasonings.
• Rub seasoning mix on pork chops.
• Saute pork chops in skillet over medium heat, turning once, until nearly cooked. Use a little olive oil in the pan if chops are lean enough to be likely to stick.
• Turn heat to very low, sprinkle sherry over chops, and cover the pan.
• Let chops sit about 5 minutes or until fully cooked. Chops should be nicely browned and not dried out.
• Remove to a serving platter and pour any pan juices overtop.
• Note: Chili-lime pork chops could get MUCH fancier with the use of fresh lime juice, lime zest, specific varieties of chilies, etc. but this easy version was what I was up to after a 10 hour shift in the near-100-degree heat.
• Note: This would be very good cooked on the grill and served with sauteed onions and peppers.
