Lemon Garlic Marinated Grilled Pork Chops

Nothing infuses pork chops with flavour like a good marinade! With bright lemon flavours, loaded with garlic and earthy fragrance of oregano (or your herb of choice!), even 1 hour of marinating will make a great difference to your chops. See notes for marinating times for other proteins. Cook this on the BBQ, stove or even bake them! Recipe VIDEO below.
