🥩 Pork Chops on a Bed of Stuffing Recipe
Ingredients (serves 2–4)
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tsp garlic powder or minced garlic
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 box or 4 cups prepared stuffing (or homemade)

- Optional: fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the stuffing
- Sauté onion and celery in 1 tbsp butter until softened.
- Add prepared stuffing and a splash of broth.
- Stir and let it absorb the liquid until fluffy.
- Spread stuffing evenly on a baking dish.
2. Cook the pork chops
- Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sear pork chops 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Optional: finish in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10–15 minutes for thicker chops.
3. Assemble and serve
- Place pork chops on top of the prepared stuffing.
- Drizzle with pan juices or extra broth for moisture.

💡 Tips for Extra Flavor
- Use a mix of white and dark meat pork chops for juicier results.
- Add dried cranberries or sautéed apples to the stuffing for a sweet contrast.
- Let pork chops rest 5 minutes before serving so juices redistribute.
