Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the spinach and cool until wilted.
- Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
- Make a slit on the side of each pork chop to make a pocket, but do not cut all the way through.
- Fill the pork chops with the spinach mixture. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the pork chops until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a baking sheet.
- Bake the pork chops for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Serve the pork chops with mashed potatoes.
- Enjoy!
