Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups dry stuffing mix
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove pork chops from the pan and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the sliced apples and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples start to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the dry stuffing mix until well combined and moistened.
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the stuffing mixture. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the stuffing is tender.
Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
