I got this Honey-Lemon marinade (and slightly adapted it) from Rachael Ray about a thousand years ago. It is my favorite - light and delicious. I use it to marinade boneless skinless chicken breasts for a few hours in the fridge. Then I grill the chicken (although you could bake it also). Yummm!!
This makes enough marinade for four to six chicken breasts.
Juice and zest of 2 large lemons (or 1 large lemon and 2 medium limes)
5 tablespoons honey
4 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
4 teaspoons ground cumin
3 teaspoon dried oregano
5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Edited to add nutritional info:
Assuming 6 servings of 4oz chicken each (and it calculates as if all of the marinade is consumed, so the actual is probably less since at least half of the marinade is thrown away):

NAME OF RECIPE: Grilled Lemon Herb Pork Chops
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 (4 ounce) boneless pork loin chops
DIRECTIONS:
Place all ingrediants into a gallon ziploc bag, seal and make sure marinade is evenly distributed over chops. Marinate at least 2 hours but overnight is better and more flavorful. Turn the bag on occasion to distribute marinade evenly.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Remove chops from bag, and transfer remaining marinade to a saucepan. Bring marinade to a boil, remove from heat, and set aside.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill pork chops for 5 to 7 minutes per side, basting frequently with boiled marinade, until done.
CALORIES PER SERVING: 131
HOW MANY IT SERVES: 6
OPINIONS ON HOW IT TASTED, ETC: These were the best, most flavorful pork chops I have ever had! The bright freshness of the lemon with the garlicky background to it was amazing! And the amount of time they suggested was just perfect to make a juicy pork chop although I would recommend a meat thermometer (160 degrees F for pork)
PICTURE:
coming soon!
