Pork chop marinated in lemon and basil for at least 30 minutes. The longer the better taste. Then grilled to perfection… ready in just 10 minutes. I served my pork chop as healthy as possible with brown rice/spelt mix and frozen green peas.

I’m just avoiding lately very fattening dishes. It’s because I want to learn more and more new possibilities of serving healthy food. It’s just that I’m enthusiast lately by vegan and clean eating recipes. I like to explore in the kitchen and mix some ingredients with another that I would never thought about. Also, I try new foods like almond milk. I’ve never had an almond milk before. But now that I’m trying vegan recipes almond milk is also in my kitchen. I don’t like it with my coffee but I like it in baking or ice cream.

To minimize to much oil by frying the pork chop I used George Foreman grill that it’s my favorite for a long time now. I use it for meat, quesadillas and even my husband uses for sausages. This grill is very useful in my kitchen, definitely I can recommend it.

I marinated my pork chop in basil/lemon/garlic mixture to get so much flavour. Then it was grilled very quickly. It didn’t required a lot of time. If you will keep the pork chop on the grill to long it will become very dry. Don’t cook it too long. I like quick and simple recipes. This recipe is only for 1 pork chop but if you like to serve more than 1 serving just double the ingredients.

  1. This looks so freaking good! I can’t wait to try it out. We don’t eat pork chops a lot because I never know what to do with them.

  2. Oh my goodness Ilona! You really got my mouth watering with this recipe! I’m pinning this so I can make it later!

  3. This is a perfect meal for during the week. I love the George Foreman grill. It makes indoor grilling a cinch. Pinning this recipe!

  4. This seems like the perfect way to cook a pork chop on a nice summer day! I will be sure to buy a lemon the next time I am at the store and try this out!

  5. Great flavors in that pork chop, such a classic combination of ingredients. Grilling is such a healthier method of cooking compared to frying. I don’t own a George Foreman but I do use my BBQ extensively for dishes like this.

  6. YUMMY!!! Lemon and Basil is always a wonderful combination. I can imagine having this for dinner. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!

  7. WE’RE EATING MORE HEALTHY TOO. I MAKE CHICKEN MARINATED IN LEMON BUT HAD NEVER THOUGHT OF USING PORK! I LOVE PORK AND SINCE WE’VE BEEN DIETING IM KIND OF OVER CHICKEN, I THINK YOU MAY HAVE JUST SAVED ME FROM BREAKING MY DIET!! THANK YOU
