How To Make stuffed pork chops
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Step 2Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until soft.
-
Step 3Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and apple. Cook for a couple of minutes while stirring.
-
Step 4Add the remaining butter and let it melt. Add the bread cubes, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir to combine and drizzle in the chicken broth while stirring to moisten the bread cubes. Use just enough chicken broth to lightly moisten the bread cubes.
-
Step 5Remove the stuffing to a bowl or let it cool in the pan. Stir the beaten egg into the stuffing mix.
-
Step 6Cut a pocket into the pork chops using a sharp knife. Fill the pocket with the stuffing mixture.

Step 7Place the chops in the ovenproof skillet or a baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the stuffing reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees and the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
