These stuffed pork chops are quick enough to make for a weeknight meal, but impressive enough for a dinner party. Add a side of mashed potatoes and green beans for a full meal.
How To Make Garlic Parmesan Stuffed Pork Chops
- Start by making the filling. Combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon, green onion and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Place 1 cup of flour in a shallow dish and 1 1/2 cups of Panko crumbs in another shallow dish. Lightly beat 2 large eggs in a shallow bowl.
- Cut a pocket (as large as you can) in each pork chop and season with salt and pepper.
- Stuff each pocket with filling. Press the seam to seal it as best you can. You can use a toothpick to secure it if you wish.
- Coat the pork chops in flour, dip them in egg, and then press Panko crumbs into both sides. Sprinkle the coated pork chops with a little more salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat in an oven-safe skillet.
- When hot, add the pork chops and cook until golden on both sides.

- Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook another 15 to 20 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.
Tips For Making
- You can use either bone-in or boneless pork chops. Make sure you get thick-cut pork chops.
- It’s very important not to overcook pork or it will be dry and chewy. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.
- If you don’t have an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer the pork chops to a baking dish when you put them in the oven.
