Grilled Lemon Herb Pork Chops
"Got this off of another website. It is a light-summery flavor for pork chops. Would probably be good on chicken too. Prep time does not include marinating time."

Very flavorful. Thanks for posting. -
Nice blend of flavours! -
Really delicious and makes a nice juicy chop. Tastes a lot like souvlaki. Thanks for sharing- -
I cooked them on the grill and they were fantastic. I cut the lemon back just a bit, and only had time to marinade for about 3 hours. Great dish! Made for Holiday Tag. -
These pork chops turned out wonderfully moist. I hesitated to marinate too long because lemon tends to cook meat with it's acidity. So I marinated for 3 hours. Not really sure if I like the lemon with the pork. It's probably just a personal preference....maybe I'm just too used to smoked pork chops or pork chops with gravy! If you are a lemon lover, I think you'd love this...made for Holiday Tag.

Tried this for dinner last night and it was delicious! I let them marinade for about 4 hours and used Italian seasoning instead of oregano. The chops were moist and tender. I will be making this again for summer grilling!

I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it! I love grilling and baking. I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time!

Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites. I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day! Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p>
