Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1/2 cup diced carrots
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup chicken broth

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each pork chop by cutting horizontally through the side of the chop, being careful not to cut all the way through.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
4. Stuff each pork chop with a generous amount of the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it firmly into the pocket.
5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops on both sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
6. Transfer the seared pork chops to a baking dish and pour the chicken broth into the dish.
7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to brown the tops.
9. Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with roasted potatoes and steamed vegetables.
