Ingredients

  • 4 (5 ounces each) boneless pork chops
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Trim any fat from the pork chops. Place the pork chops and garlic in a large bowl. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, thyme and parsley. Sprinkle the salt mixture over the pork chops and garlic, and turn to coat.
  2. Squeeze the lemon juice over the pork chops. Let rest for 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Place the pork chops on the baking sheet.
  4. Broil the pork chops until just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. See Notes for cooking temperatures.
  5. Sprinkle the pork chops with parsley. Serve.

Notes

  • The National Pork Board recommends cooking pork chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F for a medium-rare, 150-155 degrees F for medium, 155 to 160 degrees F for medium-well and 160 degrees F for well done, with a 3-minute rest time after cooking.
  • I prefer cooking my pork closer to 145 degrees F. At this temperature, the pork chops will be a bit pink in the middle, which means that the pork will be perfectly juicy and flavorful.
