About a week ago, Mary Jo and I were discussing what to have for supper. This is pretty much an everyday conversation as we rarely plan what to eat. Hey…we live right next to a grocery store! MaryJo says she thinks that’s the way they shop for meals in France. No big deal.
Should we do chicken again? Shrimp? Meatless? Pasta? I had been browsing through recipes as I do everyday, and remembered a stuffed pork chop recipe I had seen. Haven’t had pork for a while. I think it was a Giada recipe or someone else. I can’t recall.
I just take what looks good from recipes and kind of do my own thing anyway. Mary Jo picked up a couple thick cut, boneless pork chops and I prepared the spinach stuffed pork chops, and they were really tasty. Blog post worthy. So last night I made them again and had the same delicious results. Moist pork chops with a surprising burst of flavor.
The spinach stuffing is a nice combination of lemon, garlic, sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese. The pork chops were just brushed with a little olive oil on each side and then a bit of salt and pepper were applied. I cooked these under the broiler on abrown rice and steamed snap peas. Yum. Restaurant-worthy and simple to prepare.
Next time you are wondering what to fix for supper, think of the other white meat. Make yourself some spinach stuffed pork chops.

These were amazing! My husband loved them! I replaced the wine for chicken broth I’ll definitely cook these again!
Thanks Evelyn Mae….so glad you liked it!
I was really surprised the first time Joe made this when he said he was going to broil these. I thought for sure that the meat would be undercooked inside and burned outside.
But it works perfectly, is so good, and the meat comes out tender and juicy.
I add leftover stuffing to leftover rice or quinoa and heat it up for lunch the next day. YUMMY
