Garlic & Soy Grilled Pork Chops

Elizabeth actually found this recipe in my South Beach Diet Cookbook. They were AMAZING!! I think some of the best, tastiest pork chops I have ever had.

Ingredients:
Grill up chunks of fresh vegetables alongside these lip-smacking pork chops for an irresistible outdoor feast. Bell pepper, sweet onion, and zucchini would work quite nicely.

2 boneless center-cut pork loin chops, trimmed of all visible fat
1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Fresh herbs, for garnish

Instructions:
Sprinkle the pork chops all over with soy sauce, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. (I actually just doubled it and made more of a marinade for it to soak in. I used a little extra soy sauce too.) Cover and refrigerate at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Coat a grill rack or broiler-pan rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill or broiler. (I just put mine in an aluminum pouch and cooked on the grill!!)

Cook the pork chops 4" from the heat, turning once halfway through cooking time, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the center of a chop registers 155°F and the juices run clear. Garnish with the herbs.

And look - I even came up with all the nutritional information for you guys!! :-) Yeah right. It is nice when they provide this stuff for you so that you know!!
