These stuffed pork chops are quick enough to make for a weeknight meal, but impressive enough for a dinner party. Add a side of mashed potatoes and green beans for a full meal.

HOW TO MAKE GARLIC PARMESAN STUFFED PORK CHOPS:

  • Start by making the filling. Combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon, green onion and garlic powder in a bowl.
  • Place 1 cup of flour in a shallow dish and 1 1/2 cups of Panko crumbs in another shallow dish. Lightly beat 2 large eggs in a shallow bowl.
  • Cut a pocket (as large as you can) in each pork chop and season with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff each pocket with filling. Press the seam to seal it as best you can. You can use a toothpick to secure it if you wish.
  • Coat the pork chops in flour, dip them in egg, and then press Panko crumbs into both sides. Sprinkle the coated pork chops with a little more salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat in an oven-safe skillet.
  • When hot, add the pork chops and cook until golden on both sides.

  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook another 15 to 20 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.

TIPS FOR MAKING GARLIC PARMESAN STUFFED PORK CHOPS:

  • You can use either bone-in or boneless pork chops. Make sure you get thick-cut pork chops.
  • It’s very important not to overcook pork or it will be dry and chewy. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.
  • If you don’t have an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer the pork chops to a baking dish when you put them in the oven.

    As with the others that made this dish, the combo was amazing, but definately was more aggressive with the seasoning. Pork and chicken, paprika and blended pepper.

  2. Trish says:

    Looking for something new with pork chops this looks and sounds right up mine and Hubbyโ€™s alley!!

  3. Annette says:

    Made this for last night’s dinner, turned out great! I added chopped mushrooms a little more seasoning, ( meat tenderizer ) we finished the leftovers for lunch today ! Will definitely make this again. Thank you for sharing.!

  4. Barb S says:

    Came out excellent although what I grabbed at the store was not Panko but plain unseasoned bread crumbs … no worries.. and had prosciutto
    Not bacon and that was a very good sub. Just fried till crisp which took less time. Will definitely make again.

  5. ML Toni Saperstein says:

    After making the cheese mixture I added a cup of leftover bread stuffing to the mixture and then stuffed the pork chops
    Absolutely yummy

  6. Tom J says:

    While the stuffing was delightful, i feel that the overall pork could have used a bit more seasoning. Wife really enjoyed it, so I will improvise next time and maybe use something other than just salt/pepper to enhance the pork. Overall we enjoyed it. Thank you.

  7. Denise says:

    I have made a few times using pork and chicken. Love it.

  8. Mildred Edwards says:

    The recipe was out of the world. I changed it up a little, took two pork chops and put together with tooth picks and dipped and battered in flour did not have pinko flakes. Dish turned out wonderful. I made it for my father’s birthday. He was a chef growing up so very critical about everything I make. He loved the dish and gave me compliments on how everything tasted. So I will be making this recipe for my two grown children and their significant others. So there is a lot of cooking in my near future. Thank you for a delicious recipe.
