Ingredients
- 2 pork chops
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ounce frozen spinach
- 1.5 ounce cream cheese
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 red onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika powder
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Season the pork chops on both sides with paprika powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Slice a pocket in each pork chop for the filling.
- Squeeze all excess liquid from the frozen spinach then chop it roughly. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil on LOW and cook the red onion slices until soft. Add the spinach and cook for 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let it cool.
- Combine the spinach with cream cheese and parmesan cheese, then season with salt and pepper. Fill each pork chop with the spinach-cream cheese mixture and seal it with toothpicks.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet on HIGH, then sear the pork chops for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the stuffed pork chops to a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until cooked.
- Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving!
