Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (thick-cut, about 1 inch)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Use a sharp knife to carefully cut a pocket into the side of each pork chop, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the finely chopped onion. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the fresh parsley, thyme, bread crumbs, and chicken broth. Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes until the stuffing holds together. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Stuff each pork chop pocket with the prepared stuffing, dividing it evenly among the chops. Use toothpicks to secure the openings if needed.
Season the outside of the stuffed pork chops with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork reaches 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 the savory stuffed pork chops hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
