Raisin-and-Bread-Stuffed Pork Chops image

We made the stuffing for our chops with dark raisins -- golden ones taste good as well. You'd also get the right consistency and the right sweetness from currants or dried cranberries.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, cubed
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 boneless pork loin chops (6 to 8 ounces each, 3/4 inch thick)
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a medium bowl, combine bread, raisins, parsley, butter, and 1 tablespoon water. Season stuffing with salt and pepper; toss to combine.
  • Place pork chops on prepared baking sheet. Using a paring knife, cut a deep pocket in each (do not cut all the way through); fill with stuffing. Press each one down to flatten slightly. Season chops with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with brown sugar.
  • Broil, without turning, until meat is slightly browned on the outside and opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with Parmesan Green Beans.
