Equipment

Air Fryer
toothpicks

Ingredients

3 pork loin chops boneless, 1 1/2- 2 inches thick
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes oil packed, drained
1/4 cup spinach leaves fresh, baby
6 tablespoons mozzarella cheese shredded
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Cut a slit into the pork chops to almost cut them in half but be super careful that you don't go all the way the back of the chop.
Divide the sun dried tomatoes between the chops. On top of those add spinach and top that with 2 tablespoons of cheese for each chop.
Put 4-5 toothpicks through the top layer of meat and down into the bottom layer to hold in all of the filling.
Preheat the air fryer to 330°F.
Using a basting brush, spread half of the olive oil on the top of each pork chop. Sprinkle on half the salt and pepper. Then add half the Italian seasoning.
Place pork chops into the air fryer, oiled side down. Oil the other side of the pork chop. And add the rest of the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Cook in the air fryer for 18-25 minutes. Flip over after 12 minutes and continue cooking for another 6 minutes. Check the temperature of the center of the pork chop with a digital thermometer. It should read 145°F to be safe to eat. If it's not up to that temperature continue cooking.
Let rest for about 3-5 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

Using tooth picks is the best way to keep everything contained in the stuffed pork chops.
Using a meat thermometer is the best way to check the temperature of the pork chops.
Don't stack the pork chops to ensure even cooking.
Let the pork chops rest before serving them. They may end up tough if you eat them too soon.
If you prefer a different cheese beside mozzarella, you could switch it up. Just make sure to use a cheese that melts well.
