Baked Pork Chops with Apple Dressing image

Yield Serves 4; 3 ounces meat and 1/2 cup dressing per serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

Dressing
2 slices light whole-wheat bread (lowest sodium available), torn into bite-size pieces
1 medium apple, such as Granny Smith, Gala, Fuji, or Golden Delicious, peeled and finely chopped
1 medium rib of celery, finely chopped
4 medium green onions (green and white parts), thinly sliced
1/4 cup Chicken Broth (page 50) or commercial fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup egg substitute or 1 large egg
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless center loin pork chops (about 4 ounces each), all visible fat discarded

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a medium bowl, stir together the dressing ingredients until the bread is moistened. Spoon half the dressing into an 8-inch square baking pan, smoothing the surface. Place the pork in a single layer on the dressing. Spread the remaining dressing over the pork.
Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the pork is slightly pink in the center and the dressing is golden brown. Using a wide spatula, transfer the dressing-covered pork to plates. Spoon any remaining dressing over the pork.
