Spinach and Feta Pork Chops

These Spinach and Feta Pork Chops are juicy, packed with flavor and topped with a delicious cheese filling.

I don’t know about you but I love a good pork chop. Pan seared with a nice crust or fried… I am here for it. Although, it’s one of those proteins that I don’t eat often due to trying to cut the amount of pork we eat in our house. Anyway, when we do eat pork chops I feel like they have to be legit. If you’re looking for a simple yet satisfying recipe then these Spinach and Feta Pork Chops are the real deal. They’re generally easy to prepare and are a great way to sneak in spinach to serve to the kiddos!

WHAT CUT OF PORK CHOPS SHOULD I USE FOR THIS RECIPE?

I recommend choosing a bone- in cut of pork chop. The bones release a ton of flavor, and also help the meat retain a lot of tenderness.

CAN I MAKE THIS RECIPE USING BONELESS PORK CHOPS?

ABSOLUTELY! Although I highly recommend bone-in, this recipe can definitely be made with boneless loin pork chops.
