Grilled pork chops packets are an easy and delicious way to enjoy a juicy, flavorful meal. Made with just a few simple ingredients, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or relaxed weekend dinners.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality pork chops: Look for chops that are at least 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
- Marinade the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
- Season the pork chops generously: Before grilling, season the pork chops liberally with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- Grill the pork chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy.
- Cook the pork chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the chops are cooked through but still remain tender and juicy.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: Allowing the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving will help to redistribute the juices and make them even more tender.
