Description
Stuffed Pork Chops. From Olivia.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
- 2 cups dry bread cubes
- 1 small apple, diced
- 1 rib celery, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook onion, celery, and apple in butter until soft. Stir in bread, sage, and enough broth to moisten.
- Cut a pocket in each chop. Season, fill, and close with toothpicks.
- Sear 2 minutes a side, then bake 18 to 22 minutes, to 145°F (63°C). Rest 5 minutes.
Notes
A thin chop cannot hold stuffing. Buy them thick.
