Jalapeno jelly makes a fabulous glaze. The chops have a beautiful golden color, and my husband says they're good enough to keep everyone quiet at the dinner table. —Shannon Bruce, Mooresville, Indiana

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/8 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick and 6 ounces each)
  • 4 tablespoons jalapeno pepper jelly, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Place green beans in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray; toss with oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Roast 15-20 minutes or until tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
