Texas Toast Stuffed Pork Chops


2 slices New York Brand® Garlic Texas Toast

4 boneless pork chops, 1 to 1 ¼″ thick

Salt and black pepper

1/2 cup chopped onions

3 tbsp. olive oil, divided

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

4 sundried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped

1 tbsp. chopped parsley

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup chicken stock


Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Bake New York Brand® Texas Garlic Toast according to package directions. Cool. Cut each toast into 1 inch pieces. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

Cut a pocket into meaty side of each chop. Place chops on a tray and season with salt and pepper.

Place onions and 1tbsp. oil in a medium microwave proof bowl, cover and microwave 1 minute or until onions are tender. Add a pinch each salt and pepper, pieces New York Brand® Texas Garlic Toast and remaining ingredients and mix to incorporate.

Divide stuffing and fill cavity of each pork chop. Thread one or two toothpicks along cut side of chops to seal in stuffing.

Heat remaining 2 tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof skillet, over medium high heat; add chops and brown each side. Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes (depending upon size of chop) or until chops are thoroughly cooked and reach 160 degrees F. Remove toothpicks and serve.
