Garlic Lemon Herb Porkchops
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork Loin Chops Boneless
- 1 lb Asparagus
- 1 cup Jasmine Rice
- 1 tbsp Salted butter
- 3 large Lemons
- 1 cluster Garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 tsp Dried rosemary
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 2 tbsp Flat leaf parsley Fresh
Instructions
- Place pork chops & garlic in a large bowl.2 lbs Pork Loin Chops, 1 cluster Garlic
- Combine the seasonings in a small bowl, & stir to combine. Sprinkle the mixture over the pork chops & garlic, turning to coat.1 tbsp Paprika, 1 tsp Black pepper, 1 tsp Kosher salt, 1 tsp Dried rosemary, 1 tsp Dried thyme, 1 tsp Dried oregano
- Squeeze the juice from one lemon over the pork chop & seasonings mixture, then let rest for 10-20 minutes.
- While the 'chops are tenderizing & soaking in the flavors, being preparing the rice utilizing your preferred method. I always prefer rice cooker with a little less water than recommended & a tablespoon of butter.1 tbsp Salted butter, 1 cup Jasmine Rice
- Preheat the broiler setting in your oven. Lightly coat both of your baking sheets with cooking spray, & once enough time has elapsed, arrange your pork chops on one sheet & asparagus on the other. Add extra seasonings to the asparagus for extra flavor (I recommend just a little bit of all the same seasonings we added to the 'chops).1 lb Asparagus
- Broil the 'chops on high until cooker through, roughly 4 minutes per side (or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F). Since the broiler cooks from the top down, position the 'chops on the top rack of your oven. Once the 'chops reach their peak juiciness, remove them from the oven. The asparagus might need a few extra minutes under the broiler, so keep an eye on it until it's tender-crisp, which usually takes 4-5 minutes more.
- Sprinkle the chops with fresh parsley & wedges of fresh lemon. Enjoy!2 tbsp Flat leaf parsley
