Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (thick-cut, bone-in or boneless)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Bacon (thin slices)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each pork chop, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, paprika, and half of the salt and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Stuff each pork chop pocket with the cream cheese mixture, dividing it evenly among the 4 chops. Secure the opening with toothpicks if necessary.
Lightly season the outside of the pork chops with the remaining salt and pepper.
Wrap each pork chop with 2 slices of bacon, ensuring the bacon overlaps slightly and tucks under to stay wrapped during cooking.
In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bacon is browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pork chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Cream Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops Wrapped in Bacon!
