Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup diced yellow onion
1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup herbed stuffing mix
1/2 cup chicken stock
4 large pork rib chops, or boneless loin chops, at least 1 inch thick
salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup apple cider (or apple juice)
3 tablespoons heavy cream
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt butter. Add onion, apple, celery and dried cranberries. Sauté until onion softens and becomes translucent.
  • Add in the stuffing mix, cranberries and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Holding a knife parallel to the cutting board, cut a deep 2-inch-wide pocket into the side of each pork chop. Season the chops on both sides with salt and pepper and fill the pockets evenly with the stuffing mixture.
  • Melt butter in large skillet (or cast iron skillet) over medium-high heat. Sear both sides of pork chops in butter for 2 minutes on each side.
  • Add 1/2 cup chicken broth; reduce the heat to medium low. Cover and cook until the chops are cooked through, about 5 more minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Transfer to plates and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Add butter to pan and scrape up any remaining pork bits. Add flour and cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in apple cider and heavy cream and increase the heat to medium-high.

PORK CHOPS W/ APPLE CRANBERRY STUFFING



Pork Chops W/ Apple Cranberry Stuffing image

I only make stuffing from scratch at Thanksgiving and Christmas so I've taken to doctoring the box mixes. I put 4 chops in the instructions because those even numbers are usually what people are looking for however, at my grocery store the prepackaged thick or butterflied chops are sold in 3 packs. It's a pretty forgiving recipe though, just add another box of stuffing mix for up 6-8 chops and throw in more fruit and a larger pan. I increased the liquid by 1/4 c to allow for the onion and the fruit added to the mix.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 thick cut pork chops or 4 butterfly pork chops
1 (6 ounce) box stove top pork stuffing mix
4 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup apple juice or 3/4 cup cider
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup granny smith apple, peeled, cored and diced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup red onion, diced
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • If pork chops are not butterflied, slice through leaving attached at one side so it opens like a book. Season inside and out with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat a skillet on medium high heat with 2 T oil. Place pork cut side down in the pan.
  • Leave for 4-5 minutes. Turn and fold the chop shut and brown each outer side of the meat. If the edges are very thick you can also brown the edges. The meat should not be cooked all the way through, only nicely seared and browned. Remove pan from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • To start the stuffing, add the apple liquid, chicken broth, onions, apples, cranberries and the butter to a saucepan and following directions bring to a boil.
  • Once liquid is boiling stir in the bread and seasoning. Fold in well making sure all bread gets moistened. Cover. Remove from heat and let stand 5-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  • Arrange meat with the "hinged" side down in a 9x9 baking dish or cake pan sprayed with a nonstick spray. Fill the upward facing pockets of the pork with the stuffing. If you have any stuffing left, spoon around the base of the meat.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes or the meat is cooked to your satisfaction.
  • I still have a thing about pork and I tend to overcook it to this day. Please use your own judgment:).

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check their internal temperature. The chops should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • If you don't have time to make the apple-cranberry stuffing, you can use a store-bought stuffing mix. Just be sure to add some fresh herbs, such as sage or thyme, to give it more flavor.
  • For a crispy outer crust on the pork chops, sear them in a hot skillet before baking them in the oven. This will help to create a nice caramelized crust that adds flavor and texture to the chops.
  • Serve the pork chops with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad. This will help to create a balanced and flavorful meal.
