HONEY-GARLIC PORK CHOPS

Honey-Garlic Pork Chops image

These chops are so simple to prepare yet taste really special. Honey, lemon and garlic form a classic combination that fits perfectly with grilled pork. I like that I can marinate the chops the night before or even in the morning. Then in the evening, just start up the grill and dinner's ready in no time.-Helen Carpenter, Albuquerque, New Mexico
