Broiled spinach stuffed pork chops. | joeshealthymeals.com

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 applied.  I cooked these under the broiler on a cast iron grill pan.  This method is really fast and only takes 8 to 10 minutes of cooking time.  I served these with brown rice and steamed snap peas.  Yum.  Restaurant worthy and simple to prepare.

    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
