Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops approximately 1-1 1/4 lbs
- 1/2 cup oil packed sun dried tomato halves drained
- 1/2 cup Fresh Spinach Leaves
- 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Slice a deep pocket into each pork chop, but do not cut all the way through.
- Divide the sun dried tomatoes evenly between the pockets in the pork chops, then layer in a handful of spinach leaves and 2 tablespoons of cheese.
- Use toothpicks to seal each pork chop shut so that the filling will not spill out during the cooking process.
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper over both sides of each pork chop.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the pork chop. Place the pan of pork chops in the oven.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the thermometer registers 145 degrees F.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the pork stand for 3 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
