Lemon Garlic Marinated Pork Chops

Lemon Juice is a natural meat tenderizer, so this is a great marinade for those of us who din't prefer our pork chops to have the consistency of shoe leather. = }

6 4oz boneless pork chops

1/4 cup lemon juice

5 cloves garlic minced or crushed

1/2 - 1 tsp basil depending on your tastes



Mix lemon juice, garlic and basil in a large zip lock bag, add pork chops and let sit in the refridgerator at least two hours. Turn bag over every hour to marinate evenly. I massage the meat each time I turn it, to help keep it tender and it seems to help hold flavor better that way.

These can be grilled, broiled or baked. I broil mine for 5-7 minutes on each side depending on the thickness. When juices run clear, your done.
