Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

1. Warm the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat.

2. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1
minute.

3. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until combined, about 2 more minutes.

4. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the goat cheese and the cream cheese. Stir to combine and set aside.

5. Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the thickest portion of the pork chop.

6. Stuff each pocket with 1/4 of the spinach and
sun-dried tomato mixture and close the pork around the stuffing.

7. Season the outside of the pork with salt and pepper.

8. In a small bowl combine the chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, and mustard.

9. Warm the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

10. When the pan is hot add the pork.

11. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.

12. Transfer the pork to a side dish and tent with foil to
keep warm.

13. Add the chicken broth mixture to the skillet over medium-high heat.

14. Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan as the chicken broth simmers.

15. Reduce the broth by half to make a light sauce, about 8 minutes.

16. Spoon some sauce over the pork before serving.
