Southwestern Pork Chop With Stuffing Food

STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large oven-proof skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add 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.
• Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket in each pork chop. Be careful not to slice all of 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.
• Wipe out the skillet that you used to sauté the apples and vegetables. Add the oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. 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.
• Arrange all of the browned pork chops in the oven-safe skillet. If you don't have a big enough skillet to hold all of the chops, or if you don't have an oven-safe skillet, place the browned pork chops on a greased or parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
• 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 toothpicks before serving, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
