instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well and season the filling with salt and black pepper to taste.

    3

    With a sharp knife, create a pocket in each pork chop by cutting horizontally into the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through.

    4

    Stuff each pork chop with the feta and tomato mixture, then secure the opening with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

    5

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the stuffed pork chops and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

    6

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the pork chops for 25-30 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).

    7

    Remove the pork chops from the oven, let them rest for 5 minutes, then serve them warm with a drizzle of additional olive oil if desired.
