Make Stuffing
- In a skillet over medium heat add the butter and oil. Saute the onion, celery, cranberries and carrot until vegetables are soft, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from heat and allow to cool (See Note 1).
- Transfer to a bowl and toss with bread cubes, chicken broth and Ranch Seasoning. If mixture is too loose, add a few more bread cubes or use less chicken chicken stock. It should hold together.

Make the Pork Chops
- Salt and pepper both sides of each pork chop. Divide stuffing equally between each pork chop. Carefully spoon stuffing inside each pork chop pocket, being sure not to poke through meat. Place stuffed chops on a lined cookie sheet or in a prepared baking dish (sprayed with cooking spray). Brush the tops of each pork chop with Ranch Paprika paste.
- Bake uncovered for 18-20 minutes or until pork chops have reached internal temperature of 145˚F. Be sure to test in thickest part of pork meat. Remove from heat and allow to rest 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Allow the cranberries and vegetables to cool! They should be room temperature before combining them with the bread cubes.
