Ingredients

4 ounces cream cheese softened
1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan
4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
2 green onions sliced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup flour
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups Panko crumbs
4 thick pork chops bone-in or boneless
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, Parmesan, bacon, green onion, and garlic powder until evenly mixed. Set aside.
Place flour in a shallow dish. Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl. Place Panko crumbs in another shallow dish.
Cut a pocket through the side of each pork chop to create a cavity for the filling. Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
Stuff each pork chop with cream cheese mixture. Press along seam to seal it as much as possible. You can secure it with a toothpick if you wish.
Coat pork chops in flour, dip in egg mixture and then coat in Panko crumbs. Sprinkle a little more salt and pepper on coated pork chops.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet. If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer the pork chops to a baking dish before you put them in the oven.
Brown pork chops for a few minutes on each side. Transfer skillet to oven to finish cooking for 15 to 20 minutes.

Notes

To spice these pork chops up a little, add a quarter teaspoon of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to the filling.
