American · Main course · 22 min total

Juicy, perfectly grilled pork chops topped with a flavorful herb butter that melts into the meat. This easy recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a summer barbecue.

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
2. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Pat pork chops dry and rub both sides with the spice mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and rub to coat.
3. Grill pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let rest for 5 minutes.
4. While pork chops rest, make herb butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, parsley, chives, thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
5. Top each pork chop with a generous dollop of herb butter and serve immediately.

Tips

• If using thinner chops, reduce grilling time to 3-4 minutes per side.
• Herb butter can be made ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving.
• Leftover herb butter is delicious on grilled vegetables or bread.
