Ingredients

2 lb boneless pork chops
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp mild paprika
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
6 oz frozen spinach
8 oz block cream cheese
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes packed in oil
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 tbsp dried italian herbs
1 tbsp garlic
1 pinch salt (optional)

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F and thaw the spinach, squeezing out excess water.
Mix the spinach, cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, parmesan, Italian herbs, and garlic in a bowl.
Cut a pocket into each pork chop, then season the outsides with onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Fill each pocket with the spinach mixture and secure the openings with toothpicks if needed.
Sear the chops in an oiled oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side.
Bake the skillet for 8 to 12 minutes, until the pork reaches 145 F, then rest it for 3 minutes.
