Being an experimental cook, I love to just throw something together and my gang usually loves it. This is one of those recipes. The pork chop filling would also be excellent as a side dish with chicken.

Ingredients For creamy stuffed pork chops

  • 4-6 thick cut boneless pork chops
  • 1 lg. pkg. mahatma yellow rice, prepared according to package directions
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded fresh spinach
  • 1/2 to 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese

How To Make creamy stuffed pork chops

  • 1
    Beat cream cheese with mixer until smooth and creamy. Add rice, shredded spinach and shredded parmesan cheese; mix well. Mixture will be thick and creamy.
  • 2
    Slice pork chops to create a pocket in the side. Season each chop with salt and pepper. Stuff with rice mixture and use toothpicks to hold sides together.
  • 3
    In a lightly greased oven proof skillet (I use cast iron), place pork chops and brown on each side for 5 minutes over medium high heat.
  • 4
    At this point, if you had any leftover stuffing, you can add it to the skillet and add about 1/2 to 1 cup of chicken broth. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30 to 40 minutes. Cooking time depends on thickness of chops. They should no longer be pink inside.
  • 5
    Carefully Remove toothpicks and Enjoy.
  • 6
    To use the filling as a side dish. Place in a casserole dish and add 1 cup of your favorite broth. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until heated through.
