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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 °F (200°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Fill pork 'pockets' with 1-2 tablespoons of the spinach dip, spreading evenly with the back of the spoon; seal with toothpicks.
  5. 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. 
  6. 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.)
  7. Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Bone-in pork chops can be used in this recipe but we recommend finding yourself some boneless pork chops.
