Ingredients
PORK CHOPS:
- 2 pounds boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon mild paprika
- 1 pinch salt to season
- 1 pinch pepper
SPINACH DIP:
- 6 oz frozen spinach thawed
- 8 oz Block Cream Cheese at room temp
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes packed in oil drained and chopped
- ¼ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- 2 tablespoons dried Italian herbs
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 pinch salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 °F (200°C).
- Season both sides of each pork chop with the onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Slice a pocket into each chop about ¾ quarter of the way through, being careful not to cut all the way.
- To make the dip: squeeze and discard excess liquid out of the spinach. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the spinach, cream cheese, sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella, parmesan, herbs and garlic; mix well to combine.
- Fill pork 'pockets' with 1-2 tablespoons of the spinach dip, spreading evenly with the back of the spoon; seal with toothpicks.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet or non stick pan over medium-high heat. Sear chops in batches until golden on both sides (about 3 minutes per side) until golden.
- Transfer chops to HOT oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until no longer pink in the centre. (Internal temperature of 150°F or 65°C with an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a pork chop.)
- Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.
