Pork chops are such a versatile meat which can be prepared a variety of ways. Grilling pork chops is always extremely popular and my adding the sweetness of honey, the pork chops really come alive.
Using center cut boneless pork chops on your Foreman Grill or other indoor contact grill is always the best way to go. Bone-in pork chops can indeed be used, but depending on the thickness and evenness, it can often be a challenge. So stick with the center cut boneless variety for this purpose. Also, you’ll get best results by using pork chops that are thin cut. 1/4″ – 1/2″ thickness is the absolute best for your indoor grill. Any thicker and it starts to get difficult to grill properly. If all you have are thick cut pork chops, use a good knife and slice them in half.

Directions:
1. Preheat your grill for at least 5 minutes with the lid closed. Use highest setting if your grill has temperature settings.
2. In a shallow baking dish, mix honey, soy sauce, mustard and ginger. Pour 1/2 the mixture into a separate bowl of cup for using later in the process. Place pork chops in dish and coat well with the honey glaze mixture. Place coated pork chops on grill and close lid.

Awesome dish my family is in love with the awesome pork chops thats what we call them
Unfortunately, at 5 minutes per side (10 minutes total cooking time) for slightly thicker than 1/2” chop was wayyyyyyyyyyyy too long. The marinade was good but next time I would cook for five or six minutes TOTAL. My internal temp at 5 minutes per side was about 165. Poured lots of marinade over the chops in an attempt to moisten them up
