Ingredients
For the marinade:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the pork chops:
- 4 (8 ounce) boneless pork chops center-cut, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick each (see note 1)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley minced, for garnish, optional
Instructions
To make the marinade:
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, garlic, jalapeño pepper, dried thyme, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Add pork chops; turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 3 hours or overnight.
To make the pork chops:
- Preheat grill over high heat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil grate. Remove pork chops from marinade and wipe off excess. Allow to come to room temperature while grill preheats.
- Reduce heat to medium and grill pork chops over direct heat, turning occasionally, until well-browned, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
- Transfer to indirect heat, cover, and continue cooking until a thermometer reads 145 degrees at the thickest part, about 5 to 10 minutes longer. Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

- Pork chops: Look for boneless center-cut pork chops (also known as loin chops or center loin chops).
- Yield: This recipe makes 4 large Grilled Pork Chops, enough for 4 servings.
- Storage: Store leftover pork chops in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Make ahead: Marinate pork chops the day before. Allow to come to room temperature before grilling.
