Pork Chops Stuffed with Feta & Spinach

Pork Chops with Feta & Spinach

Now this is a recipe I can get behind! It was so incredibly good! Of course I did deviate from the recipe a little bit because the cut of pork that we got was way too thin to butter-fly and stuff, so I just used two thin pork chops and sandwiched the filling between the two chops. I used a toothpick to keep them together while I broiled them. Because I used two chops, I also increased the cooking time slightly. I broiled my chops for about 7 minutes on each side. I wouldn't change anything about the filling in this dish! It was amazing! The lemon zest in the spinach really brings it all together and gives it a very fresh taste. Would definitely make this dish again! I served with steamed corn on the cob. It was very filling and packed with flavor!
