Quick & Easy Dinner: Juicy BBQ Mango Pork Chops in 30 mins! Sweet, tangy, and smoky flavors for a crave-worthy meal.
Ingredients
- • bone-in pork chops: 4 (about 1-inch thick)
- • ripe mangoes: 2, peeled and pureed
- • BBQ sauce: 1/2 cup
- • brown sugar: 2 tablespoons
- • cayenne pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Season the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
- 2 Place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
- 3 In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the mango puree, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and lime juice. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken and develop its flavors.
- 4 Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, turning the chops occasionally, until they are cooked through and the sauce is caramelized.
- 5 Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the pork chops with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with any extra sauce drizzled over the top.
Serving Suggestions
- • The Sizzling BBQ Mango Pork Chop Skillet pairs perfectly with a side of fluffy jasmine rice or creamy garlic mashed potatoes to soak up all the delicious sauce. For a refreshing contrast, serve with a crisp cucumber salad tossed in lime vinaigrette or a simple green salad with cherry tomatoes and avocado. To elevate your dining experience, consider pairing this dish with a chilled glass of white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc, which complements the tropical mango and smoky BBQ flavors beautifully. Alternatively, an ice-cold beer with citrus notes will also work wonderfully.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or chicken broth to keep them moist. Cover and heat until warmed through. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, heating in 30-second intervals until hot.
