    Grilled Jerk Pork Chops - Flavorful and delicious! Perfect as a main entree or on top of a big salad. Best when served with fresh or canned pineapple chunks! 

    Grilled Jerk Pork Chops - Perfect on the grill or on a grill pan! If you love pork chops in the crockpot you will love these, just as moist and flavorful. A recipe to add to your must-have pork chop recipes!

    Before I go straight into the nitty gritty of this post, a.k.a the recipe, do you know what exactly jerk seasoning is? Yeah, I didn't know for the longest time either.When all else fails, who do we go to for information - GOOGLE. Yep. I'm not ashamed either.

    All around me I notice people keep mentioning jerk chicken. What the heck was that? It's an excellent spice blend consisting of allspice and scotch bennet peppers.

    Now I do not have scotch bennet peppers on hand, so I used cayenne pepper for a substitute. Other ingredients you may include cinnamon, cloves, scallions, nutmeg, thyme, brown sugar, ginger, and salt.

    My ingredients I used for my grilled jerk pork chops are thyme, salt, allspice, fresh garlic, and pepper. If you are up to it, I would recommend even adding fresh or canned pineapple chunks on top of your pork chops. They add an extra layer of sweetness. Just the perfect touch.

    We are a pork chop loving household. We always have a few stored in the freezer for dinner. Our to-go dish is usually pork chops with a creamy mushroom sauce, if we aren't feelin' these grilled jerk pork chops.

    A rice pilaf or simple roasted or grilled veggie kabobs would be perfect as a side dish. Add a side salad or serve on top of a big summer salad is great, as well.

    No worries if you do not have a grill. We use our indoor grill pan all of the time! Makes the perfect grill marks on all kinds of meats and vegetables.

    Simple. Finger-licking delicious.
