Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (1-1.5 inches thick, with a pocket cut for stuffing)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the pork chops inside and out with salt and pepper, ensuring the seasoning reaches the pockets.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 5

Stir in the parsley, sage, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute, then add the breadcrumbs. Mix everything together well.

Step 6

Gradually stir in the chicken broth, a little at a time, until the stuffing mixture is moist but not overly wet. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 7

Stuff the breadcrumb mixture into the pockets of each pork chop, packing it in gently but firmly.

Step 8

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
