Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°. Spread bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 min or until dried out (they don’t need to be crispy, just a bit drier!). Remove and let cool. Increase oven temperature to 350°.
- Heat the butter in a small skillet. Saute celery, onion, and garlic over med-high heat until the vegetables are soft; about 3-4 min. In a bowl, mix together the bread cubes, vegetables, egg white, parsley, salt, and chicken broth. Set aside.
- To make the sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until it is bubbly; remove from heat. Slowly whisk in the broth and milk. Return to heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil and stir for 1 minute or until thickened.
- Pour ½ of the sauce into a 9×13 baking dish. Take each pork chop and with a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of the chop. Be careful to not cut all the way through to the other side and leave about ½″ on each end to form a pocket. Stuff each pork chop with prepared stuffing, dividing evenly among the chops.
- Place chops in the baking dish, then pour the remaining sauce over the top of them. Bake for 45-50 min or until a meat thermometer registers 170° in the thickest part of the meat. Thicker/larger chops may take longer. Smaller ones may take a bit less time. Start checking early so you don’t overcook them.
Notes
Try adding some ground sage or other stuffing type herbs to change the flavor!
