Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops (1-inch thick)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 6 oz herb stuffing mix or cubed bread
- 1 cup chicken broth, warmed
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 0.5 cup celery, finely diced
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp dried sage
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Sauté celery and onion in butter over medium heat for 5 minutes until softened.
- In a large bowl, combine stuffing mix, sautéed vegetables, melted butter, warm chicken broth, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until moistened.
- Season pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Arrange pork chops in the prepared baking dish and press stuffing evenly on top of each chop.

- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Searing the pork chops before baking locks in moisture and adds extra flavor. Use thick-cut chops and a meat thermometer for the juiciest results.
