A sweet and spicy combo is the perfect accent for meaty chops. With a fresh green veggie on the side, this is a hearty summer meal. It’s easy, yet impressive enough to serve to company. —Laura Davis, Chincoteague, Virginia


Test Kitchen tips
  • In this dish, there’s not enough chipotle to add spicy heat, but it's enough to add a subtle smoky flavor.
  • If you’re making this for company, the potatoes and sauce can be made ahead and kept warm. Make the chops just before serving.
