I found this recipe years ago on the Real Simple website. My family went nuts for it the first time I made it! Today, it is still one of their favorites. Over the years, we have made a few slight changes. For example, we like to use pork chops or boneless thick-cut pork chops instead of tenderloin. And, in place of the spinach, we use kale.

- 2 Pork Chops (the cooking time is for regular cut, bone-in)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- salt and black pepper
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
