For the Marinade

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, blend together minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. This marinade will infuse the pork chops with irresistible flavor!
  2. Place the pork chops in a resealable bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over them. Make sure they are well-coated, allowing for maximum flavor absorption.
  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For even more flavor, consider marinating for a few hours or overnight.
  4. Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. A hot cooking surface is key for a perfect sear.
  5. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill the chops for 6-7 minutes on each side, until they achieve a beautiful golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
  6. Once cooked, allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving. This step lets the juices redistribute, ensuring every bite is as juicy as possible.
  7. Present your beautiful pork chops garnished with fresh lemon slices and additional herbs if desired.
