Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil, divided
2 leeks, white part only, rinsed and chopped
1 McIntosh or Granny Smith apple, cored and diced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups unseasoned bread cubes (or cut up day-old bread)
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or enough to moisten bread
4 (5-ounce) boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick, trimmed of fat

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leek and apple and saute 4 minutes, until tender and golden. Add oregano, rosemary, and salt and pepper, to taste, and stir to coat. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add bread cubes and chicken broth. Mix well and set aside.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice pockets into chops by slicing horizontally into the side, and almost through to the other side. Season the outside with salt and pepper. Stuff chops with apple mixture, allowing stuffing to overflow out of pockets.
  • Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear on 1 side until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip chops and transfer to oven to finish cooking for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cooked through.

Tips:

  • To ensure your pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of your pork chops by making a small incision in the center of the meat. If the juices run clear, the pork chops are done.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking pork chops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve pork chops immediately after cooking. They will be most tender and flavorful when they are hot off the grill or out of the oven.
  • Pork chops can be paired with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
