Pork chops are delicious on their own. Add a special stuffing, and they become truly next-level. In this corn-stuffed pork chops recipe, we nestle corn mixed with herbs and breadcrumbs into a pocket cut into the chops, and then sear them to perfection in a skillet. You can use whatever type of corn you have on hand, whether it’s fresh, canned or frozen, which means you can make this dish all year long. Talk about a dinner winner!
When choosing pork chops for this dish, the bone-in kind tend to work best for holding the hearty stuffing. The bone actually acts as a wall to keep the stuffing in place. Best of all, this recipe preps up in just 15 minutes, so it’s great for weeknights. Yet the presentation is so special, you can also serve it at big family dinners or gatherings.
