Directions
1.
Prepare a grill pan or outdoor grill with non stick cooking spray and preheat until medium high. In a medium mixing bowl, toss tomatoes and basil with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
2.
Brush pork chops with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place on a preheated hot grill and cook until done. This will require approximately 4-6 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your pork chops.
3.
Once one side of your pork chops are cooked and you have turned them over, top each cooked side of the pork chop with a slice of mozzarella cheese and close the lid on your grill to allow the cheese to melt (if using a grill pan, you can cover the chops with a large overturned saute pan). Place two pork chops on each plate and top with a large helping of the tomato basil mixture.
