It occurred to me a couple of days ago that I haven’t posted a RECIPE for quite awhile. I’m not exactly sure why, but I figured it was time to remedy that! We had these delicious pork chops Sunday afternoon and even though it turned out too chilly to eat them outdoors, they were thoroughly enjoyed indoors. I’ll just have to make them again soon so we can enjoy them al fresco as well, because this is a perfect summertime meal!
There are a couple of things I really LOVE about this recipe. First of all, I love a recipe that I almost always have all the ingredients on hand for, without having to make a special trip to the store! This is one of those recipes, and it’s one of my favorite pork chop recipes.
I almost always have boneless pork chops in the freezer because they are a go-to meat in our house.
Honey, garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil are no-brainers…ALWAYS have those.
Fresh lemons and/or limes I ALMOST always have on hand. Very rarely do I find myself having to reach for the bottle of the “fake” stuff in the refrigerator, but I keep it there nonetheless, JUST IN CASE. :-) It has SAVED me on more than one occasion!
The other things I love about this recipe can be summed up in two words. Simple and Flavorful! Two of my favorite words when it comes to cooking. :-)
Simple Garlic Honey Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 6 pork loin chops
- 1/4 c. lemon juice
- 1/4 c. honey
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tbsp. olive oil or sesame oil
Add all of the above ingredients to a resealable plastic bag and “mix” by squeezing the bag a few times with your hand.
Then add the pork chops to the bag and seal it up. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours (or as long as overnight).
Grill the chops for approximately about 15 minutes, turning once. Baste with extra marinade while cooking.
I don’t know what it is about pork loin chops…but, for me, they always turn out moist and tender! Combine that with this flavor-packed marinade and you’ve got a winning combination.
My family will gladly eat these any day of the week. Especially when served with a yummy spinach salad on the side. :-)
An easy, breezy summer dinner to enjoy outdoors or in.
