pork chops

🥗Healthier: chicken breasts

💰Cheaper: pork loin

Chicken breasts are leaner, and pork loin can be a more affordable cut.

Season both sides of the pork chops with olive oil, pork rub, onion powder, Goya seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Rub the seasoning into the pork chops to ensure it sticks well.

Place flour in a bag and coat the pork chops lightly with flour.

Heat a large skillet over high heat until hot.

Fry the coated pork chops in the hot skillet until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side, just to lock in flavor.

Prepare stuffing by adding 1.5 cups of boiling water to the chicken stuffing mix and let it sit for a few minutes.

Melt butter in a separate pan and add the prepared stuffing to it, mixing well.

Once the pork chops are browned, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, prepare onion gravy using the drippings from the pork chops, adding more seasoning if necessary.

Return the pork chops to the skillet, cover with onion gravy, and let simmer for a few minutes before serving.
