Moist and Delicious Pork Chops

I found some pork chops on a really good sale last week so I began a search for a delicious way to cook them. This marinade and grilling them made them so delicious and moist. Tyler has never been a pork chop fan, until I made these! We are having them again this week, because they were so yummy!

Marinated Pork Chops

1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup oil (I use Olive but any would work)
3 T. lemon pepper seasoning (or use 2 tsp. Montreal Steak seasoning)
2 minced garlic cloves (or you could use garlic powder)
4-6 pork chops (I like the thicker chops)

Combine all the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish, or I use a Ziploc bag so I can just toss it when I'm done. Marinade at least 2 hours. I started mine in the morning and let it marinate all day. Cook over medium high heat on grill. After chops have been on grill for 2 minutes, rotate 45 degrees for even cooking. If your chops are less than 3/4" thick, grill for about 5-6 minutes per side. If they are 3/4" or thicker, grill for about 6-7 minutes per side. DO NOT overgrill. They will become tough. ENJOY!
