4 garlic cloves, minced and divided
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided $
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
5 sun-dried tomatoes, packed without oil, diced
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese $
3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) block-style fat-free cream cheese $

Preparation

Preheat broiler.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add 2 garlic cloves; sauté 1 minute. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, tomatoes, and spinach; sauté until moisture evaporates. Remove from heat; stir in cheeses and rind.
Cut a horizontal slit through thickest portion of each pork chop to form a pocket. Stuff about 1/4 cup spinach mixture into each pocket. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper over pork. Arrange pork on the rack of a broiler pan or roasting pan coated with cooking spray; place rack in pan. Combine remaining 2 garlic cloves, juice, mustard, and oregano in a bowl; stir well. Brush half of mustard mixture over pork. Broil 6 minutes; turn pork. Brush remaining mixture over pork; broil 2 minutes or until done.

HHmmm, I'm not sure about that, but it does sound like a novel approach. I'll save the link cause I Pork Chops! (lamb chops as well:happy: )

Haha that's so handy as I have pork, spinach and feta in the fridge!

Hmmmm what I may do though is grill the pork, and rather than stuff the pork chops, top them with the spinach and the feta instead

I was sort of wondering when I saw the topic...stuffed...pork chop? But after looking up your link...woah, it does look really tasty! That's certainly one thing I never thought of preparing stuffed. Thanks for the idea!
