¾ cup reduced fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
Four 4-ounce (about ½-inch thick) bone-in center-cut pork chops

Steps

Combine all brine ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; shake well to dissolve the salt and sugar.
Add the pork chops; seal and refrigerate overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
Remove the pork chops from the bag; discard the brine. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with pepper.
Preheat your grill. (Or heat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat and spray with nonstick spray). Add the pork chops; grill 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
