Juicy grilled pork chops paired with a fresh, sweet peach salsa create a perfect summer dish that’s quick, easy, and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick (6–8 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 minced jalapeño, seeded (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine diced peaches, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and honey. Stir gently and set aside.
  2. Season the Pork Chops: Pat pork chops dry. Brush both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over both sides.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat grill to medium-high (about 400°F). Clean and oil the grates.
  4. Grill the Pork Chops: Place chops on grill and cook 6-7 minutes per side, flipping once. Cook until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  5. Rest the Meat: Remove chops from grill and let rest covered loosely with foil for 5 minutes.
  6. Serve: Spoon peach salsa over pork chops and serve immediately.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork is cooked to 145°F for juiciness. Let meat rest before serving to retain juices. Handle peaches gently to avoid mushy salsa. Oil grill grates to prevent sticking and achieve perfect grill marks. Salsa can be made ahead to meld flavors but add peaches last for texture.
