Spinach Stuffed Pork Chops

This is a little late but better late than never!!

I came up with this recipe and I absolutely love it!!! No need for a veggie side dish when you have your protein stuffed with spinach!!!


4-6 Thin Pork Chops (thick will work but you will need to make in incision in the side and stuff that way, these are actually rolled!)
12 oz Frozen Spinach, do not thaw
2 T EVOO (olive oil)
3 minced Garlic cloves
4-6 T Chicken stock or water
1/2 t each Garlic powder and Black Pepper, and Salt
1 t Onion Powder
1 T minced Sun Dried Tomatoes
4 oz Cream cheese


Saute Garlic in EVOO for a few minutes, Do not let it get brown, it will taste bitter! Add Frozen Spinach and Stock/water. As your spinach thaws, most of the water will evaporate. You want to Spinach to remain moist and not dry nor soaking wet. Add seasonings, sun dried tomatoes, and Cream Cheese and heat till cheese is melted. Take Pork Chops and pound out to make a little thinner but not too thin to wear the filling is going to "break" through. Season pork chops to your liking! Add a heaping spoon full of stuffing mix to chops and fold over. You might need to secure with soaked toothpicks. Stuffing will be oozing out but its oh so good!!! Place chops in baking dish and cover with any remaining spinach mixture! Cover with foil and bake on 400 for 20 minutes. Remove foil, and at this point I added about 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, cook an additional 15 minutes or until chops are done. I then squeezed a whole lemon over the chops, This is optional but we loved it! It added a freshness to the dish! I served the chops with homemade Italian Pasta Salad!! I hope you enjoy!!!!
