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