grilled caprese pork chops
ingredients
- 8Smithfield Pork Chops
- 2 pintscherry tomatoes (tri-colored if available), cut in half
- 8 ouncesfresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 slices
- 4 tablespoonsolive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoonsfresh basil, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
directions
- Prepare a grill pan or outdoor grill with nonstick cooking spray and preheat to medium high. In a medium mixing bowl, toss tomatoes and basil with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
- Brush pork chops with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place on a preheated hot grill and cook until done. This will require approximately 4-6 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your pork chops.
- Once one side of your pork chops are cooked and you have turned them over, top each cooked side of the pork chop with a slice of mozzarella cheese and close the lid on your grill to allow the cheese to melt (if using a grill pan, you can cover the chops with a large overturned saute pan). Place two pork chops on each plate and top with a large helping of the tomato basil mixture.
