First words out of hubby's mouth was...Wow, this is really good!...That's a five star in my book...I did have thin chops w/o bone so cooked them 4 minutes on each side...I found the cinnamon on the dominate side...so if it's not a favorite of yours I would suggest cutting it back a bit...this was quick and easy...no marinating time needed...thanks for posting this...it's a keeper...=)

Very differant but delicious way to prepare pork chops. Loved the blend and also so easy to make. After mixing the spices I put on the chops and then marinated them in the fridge for around 2 hours - then grilled on the stove top as directed. Wonderful dinner that both of us truly enjoyed and served with recipe#79431 and steamed spagetti squash. Wonderfl dinner. Made for 1-2-3 Hits
