Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 lemons, zest and juice
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
- Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures maximum juiciness.
- Serve the grilled lemon herb pork chops with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
