This recipe is so easy and so flavourful. It was a huge hit with my family. I admit I downscaled the amount of oregano by more than half.... 2 Tbsp scared me a bit... and for us less was better. Otherwise a perfect recipe. My boneless chops were quite thin and I may have overcooked them a minute but they were moist and tender all the same. And the next day I sliced one thinly over a salad for lunch...lovely. Thanks for a wonderful and easy recipe.

Easy and delicious method for delicious souvlaki-style chops. I used fresh Greek oregano from our garden and marinated the chops for a solid eight hours. Pan grilled but it tasted like it cooked over an outside spit. Thanks for posting! Will make again soon I'm sure!

These were awesome! So tendier. I only marinated them for a little over an hour. Thanks so much for the recipe! My husband can't wait for me to make them again!
