Time 40m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 boneless pork chops
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 slices tomato (1/2-inch thick)
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 slices mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
  • Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper and arrange in the bottom of a disposable aluminum pan; top each with a tomato slice. Divide the basil, oregano, and garlic between the pork chops; drizzle with the olive oil. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
  • Cook on the preheated grill until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
