Garlic & Honey Pork Chops

When you know you're going to have a hectic week, you're tired of BBQ sauces and Shake 'n Bake, but you want something a "little more" without having to forage for bizarre ingredients, this is the marinade to turn to. Let chops marinate overnight then quickly broil or grill and presto: yummy dinner without a lot of fuss. A "quickie" will work; pop 'em in the marinade in the morning and serve by dinnertime.

• Ready In: 8 hrs 15 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  pork chops
• 4  tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 4  tablespoons honey
• 2  tablespoons soy sauce or 2  tablespoons tamari soy sauce
• 1  tablespoon sherry wine
• 2  cloves garlic, minced

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a plastic zipper bag and refrigerate for a day (quickly putting everything together first thing in the morning is easy and works well).
2. At cooking time, drain chops and reserve some of the marinade for basting, then either preheat a grill with medium-hot coals or preheat your broiler; depending on the thickness of your pork chops, total cooking time should take 12 to 15 minutes, turning once and basting with the reserved marinade a couple of times early on.
