These oven baked stuffed pork chops are SO good, inspired my a meal I had at a local Italian restaurant stuffed with prosciutto, mozzarella and baby spinach then topped with garlic and breadcrumbs.
Stuffed Baked Pork Chops with Prosciutto and Mozzarella
Other pork chop recipes I love are Pork Chops with Dijon Mustard Sauce, Garlic Lime Marinated Pork Chops, and Crockpot Sazon Pork Chops.
I ordered a similar dish a few nights ago and loved it so much I made them the next day. The pork chops were on the bone, which would also work but what I loved was how the pork chops were sprinkled with breadcrumbs on top rather than completely breaded, which gave them some texture – exactly what I was craving. My lighter version eliminates the butter I am sure they drizzled on top, and I used much less crumbs but I loved the results.
