Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While it warms up, generously season the pork chops with salt and pepper to create a delectable crust and lock in those savory juices.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and sear the pork chops on both sides until they achieve a golden brown hue, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 3
In a separate skillet, melt butter and sauté onions and celery until tender and fragrant. Add garlic powder, sage, and thyme, stirring to infuse the mixture with the aromatic blend.
Step 4
Prepare the stuffing according to package instructions in a bowl, using the chicken broth. Fold in the sautéed veggies.
Step 5
In a greased baking dish, evenly spread out the stuffing mix. Nestle the browned pork chops into the stuffing, pouring any accumulated juices from the skillet over the top.
Step 6
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 7
Allow it to rest briefly before serving—to let the magic settle.
