Balsamic Glazed Stuffed Pork Chops
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each pork chop by cutting horizontally into the side of the chop, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each pork chop with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to pack the filling in.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Brush the balsamic glaze over the pork chops, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
