What this single dad loves about pork chops is how easy they are to prepare.  Pork chops thaw quick, prep quick and cook up in just a few minutes.  These maple chili chops are quick in and out of the pan and your family will love them.  I always make a few extra so I have have them as leftovers.  I just take these bad boys out of the fridge after my work outs and eat them cold for some quick protein.

Whatcha' need:

• 1 tspn chili powder
• 1/2 tspn salt
• 1/8 tspn ground chipotle pepper
• 3 or 4 pork chops - about 1 inch thick
• 2 tspn canola oil
• 1/4 cup apple cider or 100% apple juice
• 1 tblspn maple syrup
• 1 tspn cider vinegar

What to do:

1. Mix chili powder, salt and ground chipotle in a small bowl.
2. Sprinkle over both sides of pork.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add the pork and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
5. Add cider, syrup and vinegar to the pan.
6. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits.
7. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, turning the pork occasionally to coat, until the sauce is reduced to a thick glaze - should take about 1 to 3 minutes.
8. Serve the pork drizzled with the glaze.

These chops are sweet and a little spicy.  I usually serve these chops with sliced peaches for the boys and a deep glass of Chardonnay for dad.

Good luck and good eating!!
