    How to Make Gluten Free Stuffed Pork Chops with Roasted Sweet Potatoes

    Time needed: 45 minutes.

    Sweet, savory, and bursting with bold flavor, these pork chops are sure to become a part of your regular rotation.

    1. Pregame

      Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

    2. Sweet Potatoes

      Place your sweet potatoes in a bowl along with olive oil and two teaspoons of the adobo seasoning. Toss to combine. Spread the sweet potatoes out into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish or 12" skillet.

    3. Stuff

      Add the panko breadcrumbs, apple, leeks, cranberries, parsley, orange juice, and two teaspoons of adobo seasoning to a bowl and mix to combine. Cut a slice in the side of the pork chops to form a pocket. Stuff them with the filling and season both sides of the pork chops with the savory seasoning.

    4. Drizzle

      Place the stuffed pork chops on top of the sweet potatoes. Drizzle honey over the top of them and season them with a pinch of salt.

    5. Bake

      Allow the pork chops and sweet potatoes to bake for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the internal temperature of the pork is 150 degrees.

    6. Serve

      Allow them to rest for several minutes before serving. Enjoy!

    Variations

    This recipe is completely Gluten Free. However, you can substitute the Gluten Free panko breadcrumbs in this recipe with regular panko breadcrumbs. Make sure they are unseasoned so you can control the flavor and salt content.

    Tools

    • 9x13 Baking Dish - This recipe fits a 9x13 baking dish. You will want a baking dish that is tall enough to accomodate the bed of sweet potatoes and the thick cut pork chops. You can also use a 12" oven safe skillet.
    • Instant Read Digital Thermometer - There is nothing like cutting into a juicy pork chop. Using an instant read thermometer makes it easy to ensure you re move your chops from the oven when they reach 150 degrees.

    Top Tip for Gluten Free Stuffed Pork Chops with Roasted Sweet Potatoes

    As tempting as it is to cut into those juicy chops as soon as they come out of the oven, always let them rest first. This will allow the juices to redistribute into the meat instead of all over your plate.
