Stuffed Pork Chops Recipe

6 double thick loin pork chops
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons veg. oil
pepper to taste
 
STUFFING
 
1-1/2 cups dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1-1/2 cups chicken broth, plus some extra
salt and pepper to taste
 
Preheat the oven 300. Make a pocket in each chop with sharp knife. In a pie
pan combine the flour and salt, dredge chops in it. In a large skillet, heat
the oil over med_low heat. Add the chops and brown on both sides very slowly
until golden, about 20 minutes; they will be pink inside. Set aside
Prepare stuffing: Brown the bread crumbs in skillet over med. heat for a few
minutes. Transfer to medium bowl. and add celery, onions, butter and parsley
 along with rosemary. Moisten the stuffing mixture with chicken broth just
enough to hold crumbs together. Season with salt and pepper. Fill
the pockets of the pork chops and close each with toothpick. (they will only
close partially, and some of stuffing will spill out, but that is all right)
Place pork chops in a 9 x 13 x 2 in baking pan and add 1 cup chicken broth.
Cover tightly with lid or foil and bake 3 hrs. basting the chops every 45
minutes. Add more broth if pan juices start to dry up___this will depend on
the amount of fat in chops.
