These were pretty good. I would try to marinate them longer next time to see if that puts more flavor into them. I was able to marinate for about 20 minutes. Cooking to the right temperature is essential for chops.

Had to use much thinner pork chops due to a shopping mix-up and they ended up a tad dry and chewy, but still edible. I’ll give this another go with the proper sized chops.

The dish was kinda lacking in seasoning for me so I will definitely tweak the recipe next time. Overall, the dish was mediocre.

Used this recipe today and loved it! I didn't use nearly the amount of basil the recipe called for (I used about 1/3 cup), and I substituted limes for lemon juice, as I had them fresh on hand. The end result was moist, tender and tasty pork chops.

It was okay - too much basil - needs some other seasoning. Will not make again

Absolutely amazing! I only grilled 2 chops for my husband and I. Next time I’m gonna make 4. 2 wasn’t enough.

This was phenomenal! I let it marinade for 30 min as others suggested and it was so flavorful. My entire family ate them without a single complaint, even from the picky kids!

As I am reviewing this I am still in process of preparing the food. somebody else mentioned to definitely marinade for more time, it seems they may have gone 30 minutes, I'm going to go full hour. It looks very delicious and I'm excited to try it soon.

Good flavor. needs some salt and definitely let it marinate the full half hour. i used the juice of half a lemon instead of measuring out 2 tbs.
