Grilled Tuscan Pork Chops (Easy Marinade) Recipe

The summer is meant for grilling! I really think that we use our grill a couple of times a week and it seems like we mostly grill chicken.

My husband actually found this recipe for me and asked that we switch up our chicken routine and try out these pork chops instead. Best. Decision. Ever!

Sometimes I feel like pork chops are tough and dry, but the marinade that these chops soak in makes them so moist, tender, and flavorful!

If you need a killer grillin’ recipe for the 4th of July, I highly recommend this one!

      Grilling in the oven is like cooking on the grill with the lid down. Just as the lid on the grill captures the heat so that your food cooks from the top and the bottom, so does the oven door. Use a rack so the heat can circulate under the food, and you'll rarely have to turn the meat you're cooking. After you are done marinating, roast at 375°F for about 30 minutes, or broil 4–5 inches from the heat source for 14–18 minutes, turning once, until juices run clear.
