Lemon Mustard Pork Chops are tangy from the lemon and the dijon mustard. You can grill or broil this recipe. I personally prefer the grill because it adds additional smokey flavor. I like to squeeze a little more lemon over top of my pork chop.
Rosemary and fresh parsley are two of my favorite herbs to season pork. I use fresh rosemary in the summer months. I finely chop 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary. The fresh rosemary adds a more prominent rosemary flavor compared to the dried rosemary.
I found this recipe in my Taste of Home Healthy Cooking 2014 Annual Recipes Cookbook.
