Greek Pork Chops

Lan's Note:

I purchased a new cookbook at Costco recently called Better Homes & Gardens Phase 2 Low-carb Recipes, and tried this Pork Chop Recipe out. It was very easy to assemble and my DH and I enjoyed it with roasted green beans and a salad. I used our George Foreman although the recipe said to grill over medium coals. Worked fine. Hope you enjoy as much as we did.

• Total Time: 27 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 12 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1/2 cup chopped seeded tomato (1 medium)
• 1 tablespoon bottled low-carb balsamic vinaigrette (we used Newman's Own)
• 4 boneless pork chops, cut 3/4 inch thick
• 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese with garlic and herbs
• snipped fresh oregano (optional)

Directions:

1. In a small bowl combine tomato and salad dressing, set aside.
2. Trim fat from meat.
3. Rub lemon-pepper seasoning on both sides of chops.
4. For a charcoal grill, grill chops on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 12 to 15 minutes or until juices run clear, turning once halfway through grilling.
5. Transfer chops to serving plates.
6. Top each chop with some feta cheese and some of the tomato mixture.
7. If desired, sprinkle with snipped oregano.

VERY nice! I let the chops sit in the lemon pepper for about 5 hours then broiled in the oven until the chops were nice and brown and crispy on the outside!<br/>Served with a big Greek salad....YUMMMM!

I thought these pork chops tasted great. I let them sit for quite awhile with the lemon pepper and grilled them 10 minutes per side. At the time of this review it is 5-5-11 in Iowa, USA...tomatoes right now are not really our strong point - to say the least. I did buy a fresh tomato at the store, but I'm sure a fully sun ripened tomato would have tasted so much better. When I prepare this recipe again I might use canned diced tomatoes, they have to taste better than greenhouse/shipped from mexico tomatoes. OK, enough about that! The feta cheese was so lovely along with the vinaigrette. Thank you for posting!

We really liked these. I used tomato vinaigrette because that's what I had on hand. Very good!
