A delightful dish combining tender pork chops with a flavorful apple-pecan stuffing, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Ensure the butter is fully melted and slightly bubbling before adding the pork chops for even browning.
Brown the pork chops on both sides until golden, then remove and set aside.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure the pork chops brown evenly.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and add the cubed bread, apple, celery, raisins, pecans, water, sage, salt, and thyme. Mix well.
Stir continuously to coat the bread cubes evenly with the butter and seasonings.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
Press the stuffing gently to create an even layer for consistent baking.
Place the browned pork chops on top of the stuffing and spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over each chop.
The mustard adds a tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the stuffing.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for 40 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture, ensuring the pork chops remain tender.
Uncover the dish and bake for an additional 10 minutes to crisp the top.
This step adds a nice texture to the stuffing and enhances the overall presentation.
Serve the pork chops with the stuffing on the side, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
