4 (6-to 8-ounce) boneless pork chops, ¾ to 1 inch thick, trimmed
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup barbecue sauce
¼ cup water
4 ears corn, kernels cut from cobs
2 cups frozen lima beans
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
4 ounces (4 cups) baby spinach
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Instructions
Cut 2 slits, about 2 inches apart, through fat on edges of each chop. Pat chops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook chops until well browned on 1 side, about 6 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium. Pour barbecue sauce and water in skillet, flip chops, and cook until meat registers 145 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer chops to serving platter. Pour remaining sauce from skillet into bowl for serving. Wipe out skillet.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in now-empty skillet until shimmering. Add corn and cook for 3 minutes with- out stirring. Stir in lima beans and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to large bowl.
Add bell pepper, spinach, lime juice, chives, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper to bowl with corn and toss to coat. Serve with pork chops and barbecue sauce.
