In a medium mixing bowl, combine honey, olive oil, minced rosemary, minced thyme, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and allow the excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.
Place the pork chops on the grill. Cook for about 5–6 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F.
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3–5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the honey and herb grilled pork chops warm alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a crisp salad.
