Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups store-bought seasoned croutons (not mini)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
4 scallions, thinly sliced
6 dried apricots, roughly chopped
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 11- to 12-ounce bone-in pork loin chops, about 1-inch thick (2 3/4 to 3 pounds total)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 side salads, for serving

Steps:

Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the broiler.
Put the croutons, butter, scallions, apricots, 1 cup of the chicken broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl and toss to combine. Set aside to let the croutons soak up the broth.
Pat the pork dry and season all over with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and few grinds of pepper. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Arrange the pork in the skillet in a single layer (it's okay if the chops are touching) and cook until nicely browned and almost cooked through, 4 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the pork chops to a baking sheet. Pack and pile 1/4 of the stuffing on top of each chop. Broil until the stuffing is golden brown, about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, return the skillet to medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth and bring to a simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the sour cream and Dijon until smooth, about 1 minute. Season the sauce with a few grinds of pepper. Spoon the sauce onto 4 plates. Transfer a pork chop onto each pool of sauce. Serve with the side salads.
