Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Cook bacon in a nonstick pan over medium heat until almost crisp, about 5 minutes. Add onion and poblano pepper and saute until onion turns translucent, 5 to 6 minutes more. Add peach and cook until tender and starting to give off some juice. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
- Stir thyme leaves, black pepper, salt, cayenne, and saltine crackers into the peach mixture. Add 2 tablespoons chicken broth if needed for added moisture. Refrigerate until needed.
- Cut a pocket in the center of each pork chop, starting with a small incision on the fat side of the chop, exactly halfway down. Use the tip of the knife to cut as close to the edges as possible without poking through. Try to make an incision at least 2 inches wide.
- Fill the pockets with the stuffing, packing and pressing in firmly. Season both sides of the chops with salt.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe pan over high heat. Sear chops in the hot oil until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Carefully turn the chops over and transfer the pan to the center of the oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers reads 145 degrees F to 150 degrees F (63 to 66 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
- Remove chops from the pan to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
- Return the pan to the stovetop and place a towel over the hot handle. Add 1/4 cup chicken broth and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil while scraping the bottom of the pan with a spoon to deglaze. Turn off heat and stir in butter. Adjust seasoning if desired and serve over pork chops.

Tips:
- To ensure your pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of your pork chops by cutting into one. The meat should be cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- For a crispier crust on your pork chops, pan-fry them over medium-high heat until golden brown before transferring them to the oven to finish cooking.
- If you're using a thick-cut pork chop, you may need to cook it for a few minutes longer in the oven to ensure that it is cooked through.
- To prevent the peaches from drying out in the oven, wrap them in bacon or prosciutto before stuffing them into the pork chops.
- For a sweeter filling, use ripe, juicy peaches. If your peaches are not very sweet, you can add a teaspoon of sugar or honey to the filling.
- To make the pork chops more flavorful, marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Peach-stuffed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner.
