Ingredients

Cooking spray

4  garlic cloves, minced and divided

1/2  teaspoon  salt, divided

1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper, divided

5  sun-dried tomatoes, packed without oil, diced

1  (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry

1/4  cup  (1 ounce) crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese

3  tablespoons  (1 1/2 ounces) block-style fat-free cream cheese

1/2  teaspoon  grated lemon rind

4  (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops, trimmed

2  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice

2  teaspoons  Dijon mustard

1/4  teaspoon  dried oregano

Directions

Preheat broiler.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add 2 garlic cloves; sauté 1 minute. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, tomatoes, and spinach; sauté until moisture evaporates. Remove from heat; stir in cheeses and rind.

Cut a horizontal slit through thickest portion of each pork chop to form a pocket. Stuff about 1/4 cup spinach mixture into each pocket. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper over pork. Arrange pork on the rack of a broiler pan or roasting pan coated with cooking spray; place rack in pan. Combine remaining 2 garlic cloves, juice, mustard, and oregano in a bowl; stir well. Brush half of mustard mixture over pork. Broil 6 minutes; turn pork. Brush remaining mixture over pork; broil 2 minutes or until done.
