Directions

Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
Make a small cut on the meaty side of the pork chop. Insert the knife all the way to the bone, working the tip of it back and forth to make a pocket. Making this smaller cut on the outside will help to keep in the stuffing.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium low heat, adding onion, celery and bell pepper. Sauté until tender.
Add remaining ingredients, adding enough chicken broth to moisten as desired.
Season with salt and pepper and let cool.
Stuff pockets of pork chops with cooled stuffing mixture, setting aside any leftover stuffing.
In a large ovenproof skillet, over medium heat, brown the chops on both sides in the canola oil.
Move the browned chops to the outside of the skillet and place remaining stuffing in the middle and cover with the chops. If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, use a baking dish, placing the stuffing in the middle and covering with the chops.
Cover the skillet or baking dish and bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes until chops are cooked through.
