Total time: 1 h
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 4 thick-cut boneless pork chops; 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs; 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese; 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/2 cup diced apples; 1/4 cup dried cranberries; 1/4 cup chopped pecans; Salt and pepper to taste; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the seasoned breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, diced apples, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each pork chop by slicing horizontally into the side of the chop, stopping about 1/2 inch from the opposite side so you can stuff the chop.
Stuff each pork chop generously with the filling mixture, gently pressing it in without overfilling. Use toothpicks to secure the opening if needed.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the stuffed pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the pork chops for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. Remember to remove any toothpicks before serving.
Serve the Ultimate Stuffed Pork Chops hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
