Stuffed Pork Chops With Crispy Breading

"I'm not a big pork fan, but these chops are great! I love that they're breaded and then seared in olive oil. It helps to keep the breading in place and makes it crunchy, even after baking it in the oven. You can add pretty much whatever you want to the stuffing to make them work for your family. This is delicious with onion cheddar mashed potatoes and corn. I hope you like them!"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Prepare stuffing mix according to package instructions (or make your own recipe).
  • After the stuffing is prepared, add anything you want to the stuffing mix (apples, cranberries, mushrooms, olives, etc.).
  • Scramble the eggs and add sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Place in a shallow dish.
  • Place flour in another shallow dish.
  • Place breadcrumbs in another shallow dish. Add garlic powder, seasoned salt and dill weed. Combine well.
  • Slice pork chops down the center to create a pocket, taking care not to slice them the whole way through. Or have the butcher at your grocery store do it for you when you buy them.
  • Stuff the chops with the stuffing mix and secure the flaps of the pocket with a toothpick.
  • Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat until it sizzles if anything is put into it.
  • Dip chops in flour, then eggs, then breadcrumb mixture.
  • Brown chops (one at a time) on all sides to get breading to stick to chops and stay crisp while baking.
  • Transfer chops from pan to glass baking dish.
  • Cover and bake 35-40 minutes.
  • Serve with extra any leftover stuffing.

Tweaks

  1. I'm nearly 65, and it took me nearly 63 years to learn this "tweak". The recipe calls for 1/2 C Flour. Substitute "some" of the flour with Corn Starch. (Suggestion: Add 1 heaping tablespoon to a 1/2-C measuring cup, then top with flour).
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River. Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born. The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good. I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005. I hope you enjoy my recipes and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
