Ingredients

• toothpicks
• 1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
• 1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning
• 6 (1-inch thick) boneless pork chops
• 3 tablespoons Italian dressing, divided
• 6 (6 ounce) packages dry stuffing mix (such as Stove Top®)
• 1 tablespoon water, or as desired

• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2

Arrange pork chops on a baking sheet. Mix remaining 1 tablespoon Italian dressing and 1 tablespoon water with reserved juices from pork chops; pour over pork chops.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until pork chops are cooked through, 25 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 4

Remove pork chops from the bowl, reserving liquid and seasonings. Lay each pork chop flat on a cutting board and with a sharp knife held parallel to the board, cut a pocket into the pork, leaving three sides intact. Stuff each pork chop with stuffing and close the pocket using a toothpick.

Step 5

Place pork chops in a large bowl and season all sides with adobo seasoning, sazón seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt; add 2 tablespoons Italian dressing and flip to coat.

Step 6

Bring 1 1/2 cups water and butter to a boil in a saucepan; add stuffing mix and cover. Remove saucepan from heat and set aside until stuffing absorbs water, about 5 minutes; fluff with a fork.
