Mix herbs with salt and pepper in a small bowl!. Arrange chops on unslotted broiler pan!. Pork chops may be substituted!. Sprinkle with some of the herb mixture!. Broil 7 minutes (I rub the herbs into the chops after brushing them with olive oil) on one side!. Turn over and sprinkle tops with remaining herb mixture!. Continue broiling 5 to 8 minutes more depending on how well done you want them to be!. Remove chops to a serving platter and squeeze half a lemon over them!.
