Steps:
- Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Season both sides.
- Heat up a grill pan and oil the pan to prevent sticking.
- Place the chops in the pan and try not to move them around much as possible except to flip. Grill over high heat to develop the grill marks on both sides, and then turn down the heat to medium-low to let them cook through to an internal temp of 145.
- While the chops are grilling, in a bowl, mix together the cheese, black olives, oil and splash of lemon juice.
- When the chops are finished grilling, let them rest for 3 minutes.
- Upon serving, spoon the feta cheese mixture over the top of the chops. Enjoy!

GREEK-ALICIOUS GRILLED PORK CHOPS
I wanted to develop a sweet and tangy Grecian-style marinade for pork chops on the grill. The honey also helps tenderize the meat and gives it a beautiful browning ability. I hope you enjoy this! (I didn't want marinade to have a strong garlic flavor, which is why I chose garlic salt.) Note: Times given do not include marinating time of at least 4 hours.

GREEK-INSPIRED SEARED PORK CHOPS
Bursting with flavor and perfect for a light summer dinner, these Greek-inspired pork chops are anything but boring. The pork is well seasoned and the flavor is amplified through the caramelization that occurs during searing. The bright acidity is balanced out with salty, brininess from the olives and feta.

Steps:
- Place lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, black pepper and oregano in a plastic food storage bag and mix well.
- Use a sharp knife and make several small slits into the pork chops before adding them to the marinade mixture.
- Marinate for at least one hour, mixing occasionally. (Two hours is ideal at room temperature).
- Barbecue or grill in the usual manner, using the marinade to brush on while cooking.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help to ensure that they stay juicy during grilling.
- Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize them and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like yogurt, honey, and spices.
- Grill the pork chops over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the pork chops and keep them juicy on the inside. Cook the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork chop.
Conclusion:
Greek-style grilled pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can grill the perfect pork chops every time. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
