Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery stalk, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 4 cups dried bread cubes (for stuffing)
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and celery, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the dried bread cubes until evenly moistened.
Stir in the chopped parsley to the stuffing mixture.
Spread the stuffing evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Place the seasoned pork chops on top of the stuffing in a single layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the baked pork chops with the stuffing on the side and enjoy!
