Image of Pork Chops Stuffed with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Spinach

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus 1 tablespoon)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 6 sun-dried tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 10-ounce bag of frozen spinach, thawed and excess water squeezed out
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more for seasoning)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more for seasoning)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup 2 ounces goat cheese
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 4 4-ounce center-cut pork chops
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 lemon (zested)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Originally seen on Everyday Italian, Giada's Spa Weekend Brought Home.
  2. Warm the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until combined, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the goat cheese and the cream cheese. Stir to combine and set aside.
  3. Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the thickest portion of the pork chop. Stuff each pocket with 1/4 of the spinach and sun-dried tomato mixture and close the pork around the stuffing. Season the outside of the pork with salt and pepper.
  4. In a small bowl combine the chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, and mustard.
  5. Warm the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot add the pork. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to a side dish and tent with foil to keep warm. Add the chicken broth mixture to the skillet over medium-high heat. Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan as the chicken broth simmers. Reduce the broth by half to make a light sauce, about 8 minutes. Spoon some sauce over the pork before serving.
