Time 58m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large, maple grilling plank
4 (6 ounce) boneless pork loin chops, about 2 inches thick
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 cups fresh spinach leaves
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
2 cups garlic seasoned croutons
½ cup shredded Italian cheese blend
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Prepare a maple grilling plank by soaking in water according to manufacturer's directions.
  • Place the pork chops on a clean, flat surface, and cut from one side through the middle to within one-half inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Set aside until needed.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, and celery; cook and stir until the onion is soft and transparent, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach, and cook until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, and add the croutons: stir until croutons absorb the broth. Remove from heat, and stir in the Italian cheese blend and the Parmesan cheese. Spoon the vegetable-cheese mixture into the pockets of each pork chop. Close one side of the pork chop over the filling. Place pork chops on the prepared grilling plank. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover and grill, turning once, until pork chops are no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 30 minutes.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS ITALIAN DRESSING image

Categories     Pork     Dinner

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups Italian-style salad dressing
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless pork chops
3 cloves garlic
1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Directions In a bowl, mix the Italian-style salad dressing, soy sauce, garlic,lemon and pepper. Place the pork chops in a skillet over medium heat, and cover with the dressing mixture. Cover skillet, and cook pork chops 25 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove cover, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking to desired doneness.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork chops for the best flavor and texture. Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling.
  • Marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to infuse them with flavor. A simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices is all you need.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the pork chops. This will help to sear the chops and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the proper temperature.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make the chops more tender.

Conclusion:

Grilled Italian pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and juicy dish that will be enjoyed by everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give grilled Italian pork chops a try.
