This turned out great! I recommend making the pockets in the pork pretty big so the spinach doesn’t leak while it is fried.

God this was just incredible. I definitely couldn’t find thick pork chops, so I just went ahead and topped the meat with the filling, but everything was absolutely delicious! (Also, if you’re a fan of mushrooms, adding them to the filling tastes great 😉)

The hardest part for me is to cut out the pocket but it really does pay off if you make the pocket bigger. This way you’ll be able to stuff all the stuffings inside and it turns out creamy too!

Add some mozzarella!!! Makes it a little thicker and easier to cook in the oven without leaking out of the pork chops.
