Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Set out a rimmed sheet pan and an oven-safe large skillet.
Step 2. Heat half the Olive Oil in the skillet over medium heat. Cook Apples and Shallot, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 3. Transfer to a bowl and mix in Bread, Sage, Chicken Broth, a quarter of the Salt, and half the Black Pepper. Let cool while preparing the chops.

Cook

Step 4. Cut a deep pocket into the side of each Pork Chop, leaving the other edges intact. Divide the stuffing among the pockets and secure with toothpicks. Season the outsides with the rest of the Salt and Black Pepper.
Step 5. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chops until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes total. Meanwhile, toss Green Beans with the rest of the Olive Oil on the sheet pan.
Step 6. Transfer the skillet and sheet pan to the oven. Roast until the beans are tender and browned and the chops reach 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part with the stuffing steaming hot, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove both from the oven.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Rest the chops for 3 minutes, then remove the toothpicks and serve with the green beans.

Tips

Good to know

Check the center of the stuffing as well as the pork with an instant-read thermometer; both should reach 165°F.

Swap it

Use gluten-free bread for the stuffing if needed, and check that the stock is gluten-free.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and reheat to 165°F within 3 to 4 days.
