As the package of boneless pork chops and I stared at each other trying to figure out how we can leave the Shake-N-Bake in the cabinet and add some actual flavor, I remembered that one of my husband’s favorite meals at our favorite restaurant is a pork chop stuffed with bacon, apple, and cheese. This is what the pork chops and I came up with…
Savory Stuffed Pork Chops Drizzled with some Sweet Heat Honey-Whiskey Sauce
Boneless pork chops stuffed with sharp cheddar cheese, bacon, diced apple, breadcrumbs rolled, seared, baked then finished with a spicy honey whiskey glaze drizzle.
Here's how I did it 👇
1 pk of boneless Pork chops
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
2 tbs Olive Oli
Stuffing
½ cup plain Panko
1 tsp of Pumpkin Pie spice
1 tbs fresh Rosemary
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 cup of diced fresh Apple
1/2 block of white Cheddar cheese shredded
4 slices of cooked Bacon crispy/rough chop (*Do not use Bacon Bits)
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375
Mix Panko, Apples, Cheese, Bacon, Pumpkin Pie spice, Rosemary and Black Pepper
Step 2
Pound out pork chops - Place in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag and use the flat side of a tenderizer until pork chop is approx ⅛’ thick
Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper
Spread stuffing on pork chops
Roll, seal with a toothpick
Step 3
Heat 2 tbs Olive oil in an oven-safe skillet
Sear rolled chops 5 mi each side
Finish in 375 oven uncovered for 30 min or until internal temperature reaches 145
Sweet with Some Heat Whiskey Sauce
1.25 c Brown Sugar
½ c Spicy Honey (or regular honey)
12 oz Honey Whiskey (or regular whiskey)
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Step 4
Mix ingredients together and bring to a boil
Reduce to simmer for 30 min
*Sauce will thicken as it cools
Plate with smashed potatoes, garlicky green beans, or your favorite sides
Drizzle warm sauce over stuffed chops just before serving.
