FAQ

What kind of pork chops work best for stuffing?

Thick pork loin chops (about 1¼ inches) work best because they hold the pocket well and stay juicy.

Do I have to use raisins?

No. Raisins add sweetness, but you can omit them or substitute dried cranberries if preferred.

Can I prepare the stuffing ahead of time?

Yes. Mix the stuffing and refrigerate it. Stuff the chops right before baking.

How do I know when the pork chops are done?

The chops are done when a meat thermometer reads 145°F in the thickest part (avoiding the stuffing). Let them rest a few minutes before serving.
