Grilled Honey BBQ Pork Foil Pack - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 4 boneless pork rib or loin chops
- 2 large ears corn, each cut into 6 pieces
- 1 cup ready-to-eat baby-cut carrots, cut lengthwise in half
- 2 cups refrigerated cooked new potato wedges (from 20-oz bag)
- 2 medium green onions, sliced (2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil; spray with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix barbecue sauce, honey and cumin. Place 1 pork chop, 3 pieces corn, 1/4 cup carrots and 1/2 cup potato wedges on center of each foil sheet. Spoon 3 tablespoons sauce mixture over pork and vegetables on each sheet.

- Place packets on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium-low heat 15 to 20 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after 10 minutes, until pork is no longer pink and meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160 °F. To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape.
