Goat Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops

Pork chops are delicious, and there are countless different ways to prepare them, all you need is a little creativity to come up with new ways. So, if you’re stuck when it comes to how to prepare a new variation on pork chops, I may just have a recipe for you.

What You’ll Need…

1 Thick Pork Chop (Per person)

½ Cup Greens [Spinach, kale, chard] (Per person)

1oz Goat Cheese (Per person)

Pepper (To taste)

Garlic Powder (To taste)

Dried Oregano (To taste)

Preheat you oven to 350.

Start out by combining your greens and goat cheese in a bowl. Mix well.

Once the greens and cheese are combined set them aside and move onto the pork. Start out by trimming off any unwanted fat. Now, with a small sharp knife cut a pocket in each pork chop.  This is where the cheese/greens mixture is going to be, so make the pocket go almost all of the way through the pork. Obviously you want the chop to stay together, but you also want enough room for the cheese.

Once the chops have been cut fill each pocket with greens and cheese. Place the spices on the top of the chops before placing them in a skillet, spice side down.

When the chops are in the pan add the spices to the top side and allow both sides of the chops to brown.

After the chops have browned on both sides but are not cooked all of the way through place the skillet in the oven and bake the pork for 15 minutes at 350.

After 15 minutes remove the chops from the oven, allow them to rest for  a few minutes, and then enjoy with your favorite sides.
