Old World Stuffed Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a skillet, heat the oil and brown the pork chops. Place the pork chops in a baking dish.
• In a bowl, toss the bread cubes, melted butter, chicken broth, celery, onion, and poultry seasoning together. Put heaping mounds of the bread crumb mixture onto the pork chops.
• Combine the cream of mushroom soup with the water, and pour this mixture over the stuffing and pork chops.
• Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
• Uncover and continue baking for 10 minutes longer or until juices run clear. The meat thermometer should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir in the beaten egg and parsley.
• To cut pockets into the pork chops, insert the point of a small sharp knife horizontally into the fat-covered edge. Move the knife back and forth to create a deep pocket about 1 1/2 inches wide.
• Fill the pocket of each chop with the breadcrumb mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks.
• Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge the stuffed chops lightly in the flour, shaking off the excess. Wipe out the skillet used previously for the stuffing and place it over medium-high heat. Add the oil and, when hot, add the chops. Sear over medium heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.
• Place a rack in a roasting or baking pan and add water, being careful not to cover the rack with water. Place the chops on the rack and cover the roaster with the lid or aluminum foil. Bake the chops for 1 hour. Let rest, remove the toothpicks and serve.

Steps:

• Using a sharp paring knife, make a 2-inch incision in each pork chop, cutting inside pocket all the way to the bone. Using a small spoon, fill each pocket with about 2 tablespoons cornbread stuffing. Press down on top of chops to flatten. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add pork chops; sear until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add 1/2 can chicken broth, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover, and simmer until stuffing is heated through, 3 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spatula to remove chops.
• Pour remaining 1/2 can chicken broth into skillet; simmer, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon, until sauce is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain through a sieve into a liquid-measuring cup (to yield about 1/3 cup). Serve sauce over pork chops.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, pepper, garlic powder, chives, provolone, and bacon, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
• Season all sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
• Carefully cut a pocket through the side of the pork chop in order to create a cavity. Stuff the cavity with a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and press around the edges of the pork to seal it in. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Dip the stuffed pork chops in the flour, shaking off excess, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the pork chops for about one to two minutes, then flip. Remove from the heat and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and starting to brown.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a skillet, brown pork chops in oil on both sides sprinkle with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine remaining ingredients and mix well. Alternate the pork chops and stuffing lengthwise in a greased 3-qt. or 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour.© Copyright Reiman Publications, 1993-1997

Steps:

• Insert a boning knife in the side of each chop, cutting a deep pocket to within 1/2 inch of the bone, being careful to keep the opening only large enough to insert the tip of a pastry bag. (Or ask your butcher to do this for you.)
• Put ground pork, garlic, green onion, egg white, 1/4 cup water, salt and the black and red peppers to taste in a bowl and mix well. Pack the mixture into a pastry bag and pipe 1/4 of it into each chop. Season chops with salt and black pepper and dredge in flour.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over high heat and brown the chops, 2 minutes on each side. Remove them from the pan and add the onion, green pepper and celery. Sauté until onions are transparent, about 3 minutes, then add the stock, scraping up any brown bits. Return chops to the skillet, add thyme and bay leaf, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Turn chops and simmer 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove and let them stand 5 minutes before serving.
