• To prepare Sun Dried Tomato & Chipotle Pesto: Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and pasty.
• Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler to high. Set the pork chops on a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet or broiler pan.

If any pesto remains on the pan, scrape it up and top the chops with it.
