This was so good! I live getting to use fresh basil from my garden. Love how fresh the pork chops tasted. Will definitely make again. I might even try this marinade on steak. Yummmm

Soooo good! Will definitely be saving as a favorite. No need to use your food processor if you have a mortar and pestle! Also, I added the zest of the lemon that I used for the juice to give it a little extra lemon kick. Gonna try this marinade on chicken next!

So easy to put together and always a family favorite. I typically use thin cut pork chops, and use them for sandwiches. I also use the little containers of packaged basil that can be found in the cooler of the produce section at Kroger.

DELICIOUS. We didn’t have any propane so we pan fried it and it turned out amazing!

So personally I do not eat pork chops, but I made this for my boyfriend I was going to cut recipe in half but I had 3 pork chops in the package and if I didn’t make the full amount of the sauce that goes on them I wouldn’t have had enough depending on how many pork chops you do I suggest doubling or even 2.5x the amount of the sauce for 4 pork chops I just barely had enough for 3 pork chops and the amount of what it calls for 4 chops.

Easy to make and replete with flavor! Thanks to the lemon for cutting the fat.
