Kicked up Marinated & Grilled Pork Chops

Submitted by Penny Stettinius

"A little heat, a little garlic, a little herb flavor all combined in a marinade for bone-in, thick pork chops for the grill. Wonderful! Serve with baked sweet potatoes, spinach salad, and hot corn bread. What could be better? *Prep time includes marinating time."

Fabulously Delish!

I really liked this recipe with my modification. I lightly sprinkled Kosher Salt on each pork chop just before grilling. The flavors of the herbs all combined really well :)

Very good! The only change I made was using boneless thick-cut loin chops (on sale :) )I would use a hotter chili next time though, as the jalapeno was a bit timid for our tastes. The lime was a nice flavor with the pork and smoke from the grilling. Made for Fall 2007 PAC.
