Italian Stuffed Pork Chops

Date Night! It’s that time again…time for some quality time with your special one! Put those kiddos to bed, grab a glass of wine and start cooking! You’ll be sitting in front of a delightful ‘restaurant-style’ meal in the blink of an eye…

Italian Stuffed Pork Chops
2 thick pork chops
6 slices Beretta Italian Dry Coppa
Asiago cheese
1/4 teaspoon rosemary
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon parsley
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
1/4 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper
3 garlic cloves
extra virgin olive oil
pan gravy (recipe below)

Gather your ingredients. Heat the oven to 400 °F. Slice a deep pocket in each thick pork chop. Crumble up some Asiago cheese and wrap in three slices of Coppa. Stuff inside the pocket of the pork chops. Mince the garlic and combine with all the spices in a small jar. Press onto both sides of pork chops.

Heat a cast iron skillet on high heat. Add a little extra virgin olive oil and sear each pork chop one minute on each side. Place skillet into the heated oven. Roast 6 minutes. Turn pork chops over and roast another 4-5 minutes.

Remove skillet from oven. Place pork chops on a platter and cover with aluminum foil; allow to rest a few minutes to redistribute the juices. Meanwhile, place skillet on stove-top on medium-high heat. Add a dollop of butter and a tablespoon of flour to hot pan. Stir to incorporate flour into butter. Add 1 cup chicken broth. Whisk until smooth. Simmer a few minutes to thicken gravy. To serve: Place Italian Stuffed Pork Chop on plate; drizzle with pan gravy. Also great served with mashed potatoes.

  2. These look good. Will have to try, although I prefer to leave my house (and the kids with a sitter) for our too few Date Nights! Thanks for linking up with Funtastic Friday.

    1. I hear ya! When the kids were little I needed to get away – but now that they’re all adults I love to spend date night at home – we cook together and it’s so much fun! 😀💗😀

  10. I’ll never enjoy a ‘naked’ pork chop again after reading this fabulous recipe. 🙂 It looks so tasty! I have to admit, I didn’t know what Coppa was, so thank you for the link.
