Cover 1 boneless butterfly pork chop with:
About 1 tablespoon of olive oil
A couple of cloves worth of minced garlic
About half a teaspoon of fennel seeds
A roma tomato, cut into chunks
About half a teaspoon of dried basil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
About a teaspoon of marsala wine. Dry sherry will also do.
Mix everything up in a microwave-safe, shallow bowl and let it marinade in the refrigerator for an hour or more. Then microwave until the pork chop is fairly well-done.
I recommend a caesar salad and some style of potato as sides. If serving two, double the recipe amounts, etc.

A Quick, Simple Meal For One That's Yum
1 boneless pork chop. They are usually 5-6 ounces.
Put it in a microwave-safe bowl.
Add: about a teaspoon of sherry, and about a tablespoon of soy sauce. Then a pinch of salt and a pinch of brown sugar, sprinkled.
If you like it extra hot, add several chiles japones to the liquid.
Add a few cloves of garlic to the liquid, then cover with thick slices of fresh leek. About 10 will cover it. Onion slices can be a substitute. Then finish with a dusting of black pepper.
Put it in the refrigerator and let the meat marinade for at least an hour.
Then cover with wax paper, put it in the microwave oven and nuke until the pork is done and the leeks are tender.
I recommend fresh cantaloupe slices and whole-grain bread as sides. The bread is good for mopping up the sauce.

A Cheap and Easy Marinade
This works for any kind of steak, and for thick pork chops.
You'll need a plastic bag with a seal, size depending on the amount of meat you will marinade.
Pierce meat thoroughly with a fork, then put it in the bag. Add: vinegar from pickled jalapeno or serrano peppers; lemon juice (reconstituted will do for this); minced garlic (the cheap kind out of a jar will do); and Worchestershire sauce. The amounts will depend on the amount of meat, but go heavy on the jalapeno vinegar, and make sure all cuts are submerged.
Seal the bag and refrigerate at least 1-2 hours. Several hours is better. Then grill or broil to taste. No need for salt or pepper unless you really want them. Serve with whatever accompaniments you like. A glass of burgundy is also good with this.
Postscript: This works well with chicken, too.
