    Grill the Meal

    Flip, and top with mozzarella. Cook until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

Place pork chops in hot pan and cook until golden brown and chops reach a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from pan and wipe pan clean.
