    These savory grilled pork chops with peaches, jalapeño and honey are juicy, flavorful and best of all easy to make!

    grilled pork chops topped with sliced peaches, shallot and cilantro on a blue oval platter with a pink tea towel and a gold spoon.

    Grilling season is here! I cannot wait to have a “real” outdoor BBQ at home one day. For now I’m grilling on my stove top grill pan which to be honest… gets the job done! The great thing about this recipe is you can grill these pork chops on whatever type of grill you have; gas, charcoal, or stove top.

    My favorite part of this dish is the peach and jalapeño salad that tops the pork after it comes off the grill. I love the combination of savory and sweet. The juicy peaches cut through the salty, fatty pork perfectly!

    Try these grilled pork chops alongside a fresh salad or whipped Japanese sweet potatoes.

    Ingredients

    Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe: bone-in pork chops, ripe peaches (or nectarines), jalapeño, tomatoes, shallot, lime juice, honey and olive oil.

    Tips, Tricks and FAQs

    What is the safe internal temperature of pork chops?

    Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145F. But remember, meat continues to cook for a few minutes after it’s removed from a heat source, in this case the grill. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chop, when the temperature reads between 135-140F you can pull it off the grill and let it carry over to 145F.

    Can I make grilled pork chops with a grill pan?

    Absolutely, you can grill pork chops on an indoor grill pan, gas or charcoal grill.

    What should I serve with grilled pork chops?

    Keep it simple! Serve these grilled pork chops with a fresh salad or whipped Japanese sweet potatoes.
