Why This Recipe Works
Spicy and sweet: The combination of the chipotle peppers and honey in the glaze along with the peach and jalapeño in the salsa offer both a spicy and sweet flavor component that balances out. It provides lots of flavor but neither one will be too overpowering. Easy to make: There are a few different components to prep for this grilled pork recipe, but each part is simple to throw together. Juicy Pork: These thick cut pork chops are tender and juicy already, so marinating them brings them to the next level with extra flavor and moisture.
What to Serve with Glazed Pork Chops
This glazed pork chops with peach salsa recipe is quite versatile and can be served with a number of different sides. I prefer to serve mine with rice, but you can try it with mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, or even cauliflower rice! A light green salad would also make a wonderful pairing. Here are a few of my favorite options:

If you aren’t a fan of grilled pork chops, this recipe would also be really delicious with chicken. Follow all the same instructions except I would use chicken breast or boneless, skinless thighs and grill until the internal temperature is 165 F.
Are chipotle peppers spicy?
The beauty of this recipe is you can determine how spicy this recipe is based on what you add. Chipotle peppers are much less spicy than a jalapeño, and offer a smoky, slightly sweet flavor profile, so I wouldn’t take them out of the recipe completely. Mixed with the honey and hoisin sauce, the glaze will not be too spicy. The jalapeño in the peach salsa can be reduced if you do not want a spicy salsa, or you can replace it with a green bell pepper!
Expert Tips
For this boneless pork chops recipe, boneless loin chops are the best, most tender cut. You can get these at your local grocery store but if you don’t find them, ask the butcher and they should know! This recipe is best in summer so that you can use the best in season peaches. If you want to make this recipe but peaches are hard to find, try using a mango! If you are used to having dry, tough pork chops, you are probably over cooking them. Pork is difficult because you actually want it to be slightly less cooked than you would cook chicken. You might see a little pink in the middle and that is okay as long as the internal temperature is at 140 F. Don’t forget to allow your meat to rest for about 5 minutes before cutting into it. I cover mine with some aluminum foil to keep it warm. If you cut into it too early, you will lose some of that precious juice!
