After all the holiday cooking you will appreciate this quick and easy Chipotle Pork Chop Sheet Pan Dinner. Juicy and tender pork chops, fingerling potatoes and sweet apple wedges all roast together on one sheet pan. This simple dinner can be on the table in thirty minutes.
During the holidays I have spent way too much time in the kitchen and I’m ready for some simple dinners like this. Roasted on one pan making an easy clean-up, sheet pan dinners can change your life and add a new dimension to your cooking.
Chipotle Sauce for Chipotle Pork Chop Sheet Pan Dinner:
Each side of the pork chops was brushed with a smoky chipotle sauce before roasting. Our spicy chipotle sauce is a blend of sour cream, mayo, canned chipotle peppers and a touch of liquid smoke. Besides contributing an amazing flavor to the pork chops this sauce was served with the chops on the side to dip every bite of chop.
Chipotle sauce can be made in advance as it will keep in the refrigerator for several days. It is good as a dip with chicken or fish, a spread on a burger or sandwich and is especially delicious as a dipper for fries. As chipotles have a good amount of heat you should experiment by adding only a portion at a time. We like it hot and used two small chipotles.
If you are not familiar with chipotles they are smoked dried jalepeno peppers. Chipotle actually means ‘smoked chili pepper’. They are canned in a blend of tomatoes, spices and vinegar and sold in most grocery stores.
Potatoes and the sweetness of apples compliment any pork dishes and we included them in this dinner. We roasted the pork chops and the fingerling potatoes together for ten minutes. Then we added wedges of Gala apples and continued roasting for an additional twenty minutes.
Accompanying vegetable ideas for roasting pork chops:
- Slices of sweet potatoes
- Onion wedges
- Baby red potatoes
- Green beans
- Asparagus spears
Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your pork chops. We used thick, bone-in, center cut chops for our recipe and roasted them for twenty-five minutes plus a few minutes under the broiler. For accurate doneness an instant-read thermometer should read 145°F.
Sheet pan dinners are for those days when you don’t have time or energy to put a complicated meal together. This chipotle pork chop sheet pan dinner is a great choice. We also have a sheet pan chicken dinner that I think you will love!
