Once the grill is properly heated, add the pork chops and cook, covered, over direct heat for 6 – 8 minutes, turning once. To check for doneness: Temperature should be 145˚F at thickest portion. If your pork chops are thicker or thinner than 1”, adjust cook time accordingly.

Farm Girl Tips
To use dried seasonings instead of fresh, use 2 teaspoons each of dried rosemary, dried thyme and dried basil.
Adjust the cooking time depending on if you have thicker pork chops or thinner pork chops.
You can also make these on a charcoal grill; I just have more experience cooking with gas!
