Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 cup large button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the pork chops with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each pork chop by slicing horizontally through the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 4

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 7

Add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of parsley, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper to the skillet. Mix well.

Step 8

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly, until the mixture is moistened but not overly wet. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 9

Stuff each pork chop pocket with the mushroom mixture, pressing gently to pack it in. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

Step 10

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 12

Remove from the oven, garnish with the remaining parsley, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Right Side Up Stuffed Mushroom Chops!
