Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (1-1.5 inches thick, with a pocket cut for stuffing)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried sage
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the pork chops inside and out with salt and pepper, ensuring the seasoning reaches the pockets.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Stir in the parsley, sage, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute, then add the breadcrumbs. Mix everything together well.
Gradually stir in the chicken broth, a little at a time, until the stuffing mixture is moist but not overly wet. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Stuff the breadcrumb mixture into the pockets of each pork chop, packing it in gently but firmly.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
