Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the diced rhubarb, brown sugar, and cinnamon to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb starts to break down and forms a slightly thickened mixture.
Stir in the breadcrumbs, chicken stock, and chopped parsley. Mix well until the stuffing comes together.
Make a small pocket in each pork chop by cutting horizontally through the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff each pork chop with the rhubarb stuffing, dividing it evenly among them. Secure the opening with toothpicks if needed.
Place the stuffed pork chops back into the skillet and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145Β°F (63Β°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired, and enjoy your amazing Pork Chops with Rhubarb Stuffing!
