Cooking for Two: GRILLED CORDON-BLEU PORK CHOPS image

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 Pork Loin Chops [bone in 8 oz each]
1/4 cup Water
1/4 cup Ketchup
2 tablespoons Vinegar [white]
1 tablespoon Onion Powder
1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Mustard [ground]
2 slices Mozzarella Cheese
2 slices Deli Ham

Steps:

1. Cut a pocket in each chop by slicing almost to the bone; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine the water, ketchup, vinegar, onion, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic powder and mustard. Pour 1/2 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
3. Drain and discard marinade. Place a cheese slice on each slice of ham; roll up jelly-roll style. Insert into each pocket; secure with toothpicks.
4. Grill pork chops, {or broil for 10 - 12 minutes a side} covered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving. Discard toothpicks.
