Health benefits of Savory Stuffed Pork Chops Recipe

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form. Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

8 boneless pork loin chops (1 inch thick and 8 ounces each)
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup butter, cubed
5 cups fresh baby spinach
1 package (6 ounces) sage stuffing mix
1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) sour cream
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Instructions

Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket in each pork chop. In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add spinach, cook until wilted. Stir in the stuffing mix, sour cream and sage.
Fill each chop with about 1/3 cup stuffing mixture; secure with toothpicks if necessary. Place on a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 ° for 35-40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 °. Discard toothpicks.
