• 4.0 (6.0- to 8.0-ounce / 170g- to 227g each) bone-in pork loin chops
• 2.0 tablespoons butter (1.0 oz / 28g), softened
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves (approx. 0.4 oz / 10g), finely chopped

6. Rest and Serve: Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3.0 to 5.0 minutes before serving.
