Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped basil, minced garlic, olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
2. Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For maximum flavor, letting them marinate overnight is recommended.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are covered with white ash.
4. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Grill the pork chops for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F when measured with a meat thermometer.
6. Once done grilling, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a moist and flavorful bite.
7. Serve the grilled pork chops alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
