A delightful twist on classic pork chops, infused with aromatic herbs and wrapped in crispy bacon.
Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Let the seasoned pork chops sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Place a sprig of rosemary on each pork chop and wrap each chop with a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
Ensure the bacon is wrapped tightly around the pork chop to prevent it from unraveling during cooking.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat.
A well-preheated grill ensures a good sear on the bacon.
Sear the bacon-wrapped pork chops on high heat for 2 minutes on each side.
Use tongs to flip the pork chops carefully to avoid unwrapping the bacon.
Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the pork chops for 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfectly cooked pork.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the pork chops juicier.
Serve the pork chops warm, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.
Serve with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
