These chipotle adobo grilled pork chops with cilantro lime chimichurri are one of our favorite summer dishes and the best part is that they are so easy to prepare. In the morning before heading to work I just put all of the marinade ingredients in a blender and leave the pork chops in the marinade all day. When I come home I fire up the grill, add the pork chops and some asparagus or corn on the cob and dinner is ready in no time!

The chimichurri sauce balances the smoky and slightly spicy flavor of the pork chops with the freshness and tangy flavor of the cilantro and lime. I am a huge fan of cilantro so this version of chimichurri uses cilantro as the base instead of the using only parsley, which is the main ingredient for the traditional Argentinian chimichurri.

For this recipe, I used Smithfield All Natural Fresh Pork and I was surprised at how tender and juice the pork chops came out. And right now you can save on Smithfield All Natural Pork by using the Ibotta offer below.
