Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (thick cut, at least 1.5 inches thick)
- 4 oz Goat cheese
- 1 cup Fresh spinach (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Thyme leaves (fresh or dried)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
With a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each pork chop without slicing all the way through.
In a medium bowl, mix the goat cheese, chopped spinach, and minced garlic until well combined.
Stuff each pork chop with the goat cheese mixture and secure the opening with toothpicks if necessary.
Season the outside of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, paprika, and thyme.
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the stuffed pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake the pork chops for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Carefully remove any toothpicks and serve the pork chops warm. Enjoy!
