Be sure to trim even the leanest pork chops of any remaining fat. The spice mixture seals in the moisture so you can enjoy lower fat yet succulent pork chops bursting with flavor.
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cumin
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 4-5 ounce 1/2-3/4 inch boneless pork loin chops, trimmed of all visible fat
Preparation:
Combine spices in a small bowl using a small whisk. Rub spice mixture on both sides of each pork chop. Transfer chops to a dish large enough to accommodate chops in one layer, and cover; or place pork chops in a gallon-size resealable storage bag and lay flat on a plate. Refrigerate and allow spices to penetrate the chops for 6-8 hours.
Preheat broiler. Place chops on a lightly oiled broiler rack and broil 5 minutes each side until done. These work equally well on the grill.
