Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 cup quick-cooking polenta
4 (1-inch) thick bone-in pork chops (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
4 (1/4-inch) thick slices smoked mozzarella (about 3 1/2 ounces)
4 teaspoons anchovy paste, divided
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided
4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 pints grape tomatoes (about 3 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup milk
Chopped flat-leaf parsley, for serving
Special Equipment:
toothpicks

Steps:

Preheat broiler on high and set oven rack 4 inches from heat. Line broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet with foil.
In a medium saucepan, prepare polenta according to package directions.
While polenta is cooking, prepare the pork chops. Place chops flat on cutting board and, using a sharp paring knife, make a horizontal slit 3 to 4 inches deep and 3 to 4 inches long in the side of each chop. Spread each mozzarella slice with 1 teaspoon anchovy paste. Stuff a piece of mozzarella inside each chop, press the pork closed, and secure with a toothpick.
Rub the chops with 1 tablespoon oil, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and place on the foil-lined pan. Broil until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm remaining 1/4 cup oil. Add garlic, tomatoes, and broth. Cover and cook until tomatoes softened and just beginning to burst, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove cover and discard garlic. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
When the polenta is cooked, whisk in enough milk to thin the polenta to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve pork chops over polenta, topped with tomato pan sauce and parsley.

MOZZARELLA STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Mozzarella Stuffed Pork Chops image

I got this recipe from my mom and it is REALLY great. Make sure you use thick pork chops so that they'll stuff easily

Provided by ASRing

Categories Pork

Time 1h20m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless pork chops
2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms
1/4 cup parsley, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg

Steps:

Combine cheese, mushrooms, parsley, salt and pepper. Place bread crumbs on a plate or a pie pan. Beat the egg and place in another shallow dish.
Make a slit in each pork chop about 3/4 the way through. Stuff with the cheese and musroom mixture. Dip and roll the chops in the egg then the bread crumbs. Use toothpicks to help keep them closed if you need to.
Place each pork chop in a greased baking dish, cover, and bake at 350 for 40 minutes.

Tips:

Use thin pork chops: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
Pound the pork chops: This will help them tenderize and flatten them, making them easier to stuff.
Use a variety of cheeses: You can use mozzarella, Parmesan, Asiago, or any other type of cheese that you like.
Don't overstuff the pork chops: Too much stuffing will make them difficult to cook and may cause them to fall apart.
Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides: Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Mozzarella-stuffed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting recipe, give mozzarella-stuffed pork chops a try. You won't be disappointed!
