Recipe for stuffed pork chops using stove top stuffing

Just place the stuffed pork chops on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in the 350°F oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145°F.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place pork chops on prepared baking sheet and bake, uncovered, for 35 to 60 minutes, or until internal temperature of stuffing reaches 165 degrees.

If you would like to avoid overcooking the stuffing since this is the second time around, I recommend searing the pork chops over medium heat for just a few minutes on each side to give it texture and color. Then stuff them and bake them covered at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. What is this?

Because pork chops are such a lean cut, they are relatively quick-cooking and prone to overcooking. When they're cooked for even a few minutes too long, whether it's in the oven or on the stovetop or grill, they're quick to dry out, and — you guessed it — become tough, chewy, and less than appealing.
