Jess's Honey Jalapeno Pork Chops


I needed a new pork chop recipe and Stunningham turned me onto this lil gem that Jess posted in 2010. It. was. delicious. Paired it with some sauteed kale. 

Pork Chops
Ingredients:
2 pork chops
1 cup chicken broth
1 jalapeno, minced
1/4 red bell pepper, minced
1 1/2 Tbsps raw honey
salt and pepper to taste (I omitted the salt this time)

Directions:
Heat chicken broth and peppers over medium heat until chicken broth is reduced. Remove from heat and slowly stir in honey. Set aside.

Meanwhile, season pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature is about 155 degrees. Allow to rest. Spoon the jalapeno and honey mixture over the pork chops before serving.

Sweet Potatoes:
Ingredients:
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Pinch of turmeric
Black pepper

Directions:
Boil sweet potatoes for approximately 20 minutes (until fork tender). Drain and mash with seasonings.
