Ingredients
Serves 4- 1 stalk celery, (finely diced)
- ½ of a small apple, (peel on and finely diced)
- ½ of a small sweet onion, (finely diced)
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley or sage
- 4 thick boneless pork chops ((about 6-8 ounces each and 1-inch thick))
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil ((or canola oil))
- 1 (6 ounce) package Stove Top stuffing mix, (plus the additional ingredients called for on the package (butter and water))
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large oven-proof skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the apple, onion, and celery; sauté just until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing according to the package instructions. Use a fork to gently combine the prepared stuffing with the sauteed apple, onion, and celery mixture. Set aside.
- Step 2
Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket in the side of each pork chop. Be careful not to slice all the way through. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Fill each pork chop with about ¼ cup stuffing (or as much stuffing as you can fit inside). Secure with toothpicks.
- Step 3
Wipe out the skillet. Add the oil and heat over medium-high. When the oil shimmers, add the pork chops to the pan and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Work in batches, if necessary, so that you don't overcrowd the pan.
- Step 4
Arrange all of the browned pork chops in the oven-safe skillet. If you don't have a big enough skillet to hold all the chops, or if you don't have an oven-safe skillet, place the browned chops on a greased or parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Step 5
Transfer the skillet (or baking sheet) to the oven. Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, or until juices run clear and an instant-read meat thermometer registers 145°F. Remove the toothpicks before serving; garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
