The smoky-spicy rub would also work well with grilled chicken breasts.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine the first 7 ingredients in a small bowl. Rub pork chops with spice mixture.
Step 2
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; grill 3 minutes on each side or until a thermometer registers 145° (slightly pink).
Step 3
Combine mango and remaining ingredients in a small bowl; toss gently. Serve salsa with pork.

I made this recipe a couple weeks ago and I had high hopes but it left me disappointed. It didnt have the spice that I would like to bring out the flavor in the pork chops. I followed it to a T but if I did make it again I would def kick it up. The mango salsa wasn't bad

I loved these pork chops and so did my husband. The Caribbean rub was delicious, as was the mango salsa. I served this with Cooking Light's Quinoa Peach Salad and sugar snap peas, and my husband complimented me on what a great dinner it was. It will go into my saved recipe file to be used again!

Excellent!! We loved the flavors of this dish - and it was quick to prepare and cook. I served it with black beans and rice salad (mixed with a bit of olive oil, lime juice, red onion, minced garlic, cilantro, salt, and cayenne pepper) & roasted sweet potatoes (peeled, cut into 1 inch pieces, with a bit of olive oil, lime juice, honey, and similar spices to the rub plus some cinnamon, nutmeg, and chili powder. Will definitely make this again!

Eh. I wanted to love this, but I guess I am not a fan of "Caribbean" flavors. Loved the mango salsa though. Might try this again with a different spice rub as mango salsa adapts to many different flavor profiles.

Agree with Jocilyn. This was an absolute winner with everyone in the family; even the five year-old.
