Ingredients

For the Pork Chops:

4 pork chops
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon canola oil

For the Stuffing:

3 cups bread cubes
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup chicken broth

For the Sauce:

1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/3 cup water

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brown the Pork Chops: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and canola oil over medium heat. Brown the pork chops on both sides until they develop a golden crust, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Stuffing: In a mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes, diced celery, diced onion, and poultry seasoning. Drizzle the melted butter and chicken broth over the mixture, then toss until everything is evenly coated.
Stuff the Pork Chops: Take the pork chops and either mound the stuffing over the top of each chop or make a slit in the side of each chop and stuff them with the mixture, piling any extra stuffing on top.
Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and water until smooth.
Assemble and Bake: Place the stuffed pork chops in a baking dish. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chops. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Final Bake: After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the stuffing is golden brown on top. Ensure the internal temperature of the pork reaches 160-170°F (71-77°C) for safe consumption.
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Plate them up with your favorite sides and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious dish!
