Steps
- Prepare the Pork Chops:
- Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cinnamon.
- Grill the Pork Chops:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the pork chops for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Make the Apple and Pear Sauce:
- While the pork chops are grilling, heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the chopped apple and pear and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add honey, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and simmer for another 5 minutes until the fruit softens and the sauce thickens.
- Serve:
- Place the grilled pork chops on plates and spoon the apple and pear sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
