Ingredients
Pork Chops:
- 4 boneless center cut pork chops , at least 1-2 inch thickness
- 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt , divided
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Pork Chop Filling:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter , melted
- 2 cloves garlic , minced or pressed
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese , plus more for garnish
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
- Fill a large mixing bowl halfway with water and stir in the 2 teaspoons of the salt until nearly dissolved. Add the pork chops and more water, if needed, until they are submerged. Place in the refrigerator for 1-4 hours to brine.
- Remove the pork chops from the brine, discarding the liquid, and pay dry.
- In a small bowl, stir together the seasoned salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Sprinkle each pork chop with the seasoning.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Soak 16 toothpicks in water.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika and black pepper and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
- Lay each pork chop on its side and using a very sharp knife, cut a slit in the side, being careful to not cut all the way through, making a pocket for the stuffing.
- Stuff each pork chop with equal parts breads crumb mixture. Secure with the toothpicks.
- Grill the pork chops over indirect heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until internal temperature of pork reaches 145°F.
- Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with additional grated Parmesan cheese and parsley.
