How to Make Garlic Lime Marinated Pork Chops

Recipe Notes
This recipe is incredibly easy, because you broil it. It’s one that you could eat all year round, and never have to grill in the snow. However, it is a good marinade for grilling. You could easily grill your pork chops over medium heat on a gas grill, instead of broil them. The internal temp of the pork chops should be 145 degrees F, a meat thermometer will be helpful.

Is 8-10 minutes under a broiler long enough to cook pork? That makes me nervous!
There is no way that little bit of marinade thoroughly covers the pork chops. I had to add a different marinade as well.
I think this turned out fantastic although mine looked nothing like the picture. My only change was using the juice from a whole lime and not adding the zest because quite frankly I was too lazy. The way I cook pork chops is different as well and I have not had one person complain about it. I use spray on oil on a pan over medium to medium high heat and put pork chops on a sear for 3 minutes on each side. Then put onto a pre greased cookie pan in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes. Cooks perfectly every single time!!! Yum!!!
I am making this tonight, and it must be obvious to everyone but me. My question- how do you marinate that many pork chops with juice from one lime? Do you put it in a ziploc, or just squeeze some juice on the top of each pork chop? It doesn’t seem like enough liquid to marinate…
The pork chops marinade in all the ingredients. I updated the post so it will be easier to understand. Hope this helps!
