  • 4-5 Sprigs of Rosemary
  • 1 tbs Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 2 cups Short Grain Rice
  • 2 c Vegetable Broth

Instructions

  • Prepping your Boneless Pork Chops
  • Slice each pork chop lengthwise, leaving a 1/2 inch uncut.
  • Open (Butterfly) the pork chop.
  • Season the inside with salt and pepper.
  • Cut each slice of cheese in half.
  • Place each half slice of cheese on each side of the pork chop.
  • Place sliced apples on one side of the pork chop.
  • Close each chop, then wrap with 2 slices of bacon.
  • Next Steps
  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, begin to sauté your onions and rosemary in oil.
  • Once your onions become translucent, take them out of the pan and sit to the side.
  • Place each bacon wrapped pork chop into the hot skillet and cook until bacon is crispy, then flip to cook the other side. Each side may take about 5 minutes to get crispy. Do not over cook because you will be finishing this dish in the oven.
  • Take pork chops out and sit to the side.
  • Add onions and rosemary back to the skillet. 
  • Add rice to the skillet and stir for about a minute. You want the rice to take in the flavors of the onion and rosemary.
  • Stir in apple juice and vegetable broth.
  • Let rice simmer for 20 minutes. 
  • Add pork chops back to the skillet.
  • Place skillet in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Enjoy while hot.
