The pork chops are filled with a delicious stuffing made with breadcrumbs, herbs, and vegetables. Baking them in the oven ensures they stay moist and tender.

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.
