These Grilled Pork Chops with Peaches and Walnuts are the easiest and most amazing pork chops ever…ready in 20 minutes! It doesn’t get better than that. Just peachy!
Look at this ridiculously bright, easy-to-make, and delicious meal!! All it takes is one pan, a few simple ingredients and less than 20 minutes to have this summery pork chops on your table… Don’t they look perfect?
This recipe is my first hurrah to peach season!! My kids, like myself, ♡ peaches, so I have decided to take advantage of that and use them in any possible way. You’re going to love this one. The way the flavors blend in this dish it’s just heavenly!
These were really quick and easy to make, especially because I used thin boneless chops. But if you would prefer thicker pork chops, just increase the cooking time until the pork chops are cooked through and register 140°F to 145°F in the thickest part of the meat with an instant-read thermometer, around 8-10 minutes.
Do you see all those beautiful fresh herbs? Adding the rosemary and thyme gives it a nice earthy flavor and keeps the dish bright and lively.
So simple to make and really these pork chops are an ideal dinner to make after a busy workday. Serve it with a simple side salad for a quick and fresh weeknight meal.
Happy Cooking!!!

I just happen to have some walnuts laying around and couldn’t wait to use them. This recipe looks delicious! The only problem is I don’t have fresh peaches. Just canned peaches. I am going to give it a shot, I figure it should turn out about the Same and I’ll just decrease the cooking time to more of a “warming” time. I also don’t have brown sugar only regular sugar but I am still going to go for it. Wish me luck
Hello Tasha! I think it will work fine. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
Somebody here is confusing “grilled” with “pan-fried”…
Other than that, me and my husband love it!
Hello Sabine! I’m delighted to hear that you and your husband loved it. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and for taking the time to come back and let me know!
Amazing. I used dried herbs and doubled the peaches. I let the peaches cook quite a bit. Can’t wait to make this again!
Hello Maggie! This is a favorite in my home =) Thanks so much for your feedback and for trying my recipe.
Hi! I’m going to make this recipe this week, and I’m very excited about it!
I’m wondering if the fresh herbs are necessary? Whenever I buy a bunch of fresh herbs for a recipe, I tend to throw the rest out a week later. If it’s okay to use dried herbs…do you know how it might impact the amounts?
Thanks! – Corey
Hello Corey! You can totally use dried herbs. When substituting fresh herbs for dried I recommend using 1/3 of the amount called in the recipe. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
Love this recipe! Unfortunately it’s not peach season yet. But it’s mango season and I think it’s a great substitution. Turns out great! Super easy!
Hello Lindsay! Mango sounds like a great substitute. I’ll try it soon. Thanks so much for your feedback and for trying my recipe.
Hi can’t wait to try this version of pork with peaches and walnuts
Is there anyway to reduce the fat and cholesterol amounts?
Hello April! You can reduce the amount of butter and skip the walnuts if you prefer. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
Wow! This was terrific. Due to medical needs of a loved one I have been unable to leave the house for 3 weeks, leaving me to work with what l have on hand, so adjustments were necessary.
First, I sliced down a can of halved peaches, which means I used more than your recipe called for. Second, I had no fresh herbs on hand, so I crushed a handful of dry Italian seasoning in lieu of the rosemary and thyme. Next, I removed and used the meat from six chops. My brown sugar refused to soften properly so I used an approx. 1 cup chunk. Lastly, I used about 1/3 cup apple juice to melt the sugar and extend the sauce. It turned out unbelievably good. Plates emptied VERY quickly. A true hit, even with these substitutions. Thanks so much. It really was very quick and easy to put together, perfect for a harried 24/7/365 sole caregiver.
Hello RellyRed! So glad you enjoyed it!! I’m glad you found it easy to make. ?
Awesome recipe. I will definitely try it.

I was looking for a new a recipe for pork chops and that’s when I came across your recipe for
Pork Chops with Peaches and Walnuts .I grew up on a farm as a child so the ingredients together were all very familiar. I enjoyed in making this dish with my granddaughter and reminiscing about the farm. My family loved the pork chops and want the recipe added to our family Sunday dinners. We give this recipe 5 stars
Hello Colorado!! Thank you so much for trying my recipe. I’m delighted to hear you and your family enjoyed it so much. ?
Hi I adapted this to use what I had on hand (cause I never make a special trip to the store). I had 6 boneless pork chops and a bag of frozen peaches. I started by browning the frozen peaches, when they were thawed I pushed them off to the side and browned the chops in the pan with them. when the chops were brown on both sides (not cooked thru but browned). I added the walnuts, dried rosemary and tarragon (cause I grabbed it by accident) added salt pepper and a sprinkle of dried ground garlic and only 1 TBL of brown sugar. Put all in a casserole dish and deglazed the pan with a c of broth (I had beef in the refridge) then poured the drippings over all and put in fridge overnight will cook it off completely in a slow oven while we are at the gym tomorrow. Cooking rice and steamed green beans to go with. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hello Tammi! It sounds like the perfect meal to come home to. Thanks for trying my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it. ?
Loved the idea of peaches but we’re not huge fans of sweets so I omitted the brown sugar and added a sliced up shallot to the pan after I turned the peaches over. Pinned this recipe, both hubby and I enjoyed them. Thanks!!
Hello Judi! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!?
We would like the calorie count and nutritional values please.
Hello Martha! Sorry but I don’t have nutritional information for this recipe. But you can run my recipe through a nutrition calculator like myfitnesspal.com. Thanks for stopping by!
Could you use canned peaches?
Hello Kim! Yes, you definitely can use canned peaches. Just make sure to not add to much of the syrup. Thanks for stopping by.
I loved the sweetness of this. 2 min. to brown the peaches was just not enough though, so I did a little longer. Walnuts and brown sugar always go great together. Now they go great with Pork. Yum.
Hi Mary Ann! I’m glad you loved this recipe. Thanks so much for leaving your feedback ????
It sound absolutely amazing and I am making it this weekend. I’m just a tiny bit confused as to why it’s called “Grilled” pork chops when they’re made in a skillet on the stove top. Did I miss something? (Which is entirely possible! 🙂
Hello Marcelle! It’s called “grilled” because I used a grilling pan and very little oil. I love grilling indoors! The grilling pan gets hot and retains heat well, so it will stay hot and give the grill marks I like. You can also make these pork chops in a regular skillet ????. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Any suggestion of what herb i can use other then rosemary, we just don’t care for the taste.
Hello Rosanne! You can use fresh oregano or thyme. Please come back and let me know how to like the recipe. Have a great day!! =)
This was terrific. The combination of the peaches with the rosemary…. loved it! Thank you!

I don’t make pork chops nearly enough…and only 20 minutes? LOVE this recipe!
Such gorgeous pictures and looks so delicious!! Love the idea of adding peaches in savory food!
Oriana, even though I don’t eat pork, this meal is making me hungry. It sounds so easy and perfect for weekdays! I will sure try this recipe with chicken sometime soon! thanks for sharing.
Estoy aprendiendo a cocinar el cerdo porque en Venezuela lo tienen mu estigmatizada -con que es muy grasos- Por lo que no crecí comiendolo y mucho menos cocinándolo, pero ahora sé que si la carne de cerdo esta magra ¡es mejor que otras carnes! Esta receta me la guardo porque me encanto.
This DOES look ridiculously easy and delicious!! I don’t know why I haven’t tried the peach and pork combination before. Gotta change that – thanks for the idea! PINNING! 🙂
Yum! Love the classic combination of pork with peaches but the fresh herbs take it right over the top! Delicious! Pinned!
