Stuffed Pork Chop Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Stuffing

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent. Stir in crumbled cornbread, cooked succotash, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.

2. 2

   Prepare the Pork Chops

   Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each pork chop by slicing horizontally into the side. Stuff each chop with the cornbread mixture, pressing gently to close.

3. 3

   Cook the Pork Chops

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil. Sear each stuffed pork chop for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to a baking dish.

4. 4

   Make the Maple Jus

   In the same skillet, add chicken broth and maple syrup. Bring to a simmer, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow to reduce slightly, then stir in butter until melted.

5. 5

   Bake the Pork Chops

   Pour the maple jus over the stuffed pork chops in the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve the stuffed pork chops drizzled with the maple jus.
