My dear niece, Sea Sun gets all of the credit in the world for this recipe but I've made a few change since she used chicken and pecans calling her amazing recipe, "Honey Pecan Chicken". This is as pretty as a picture and the next time I make this I will take pictures. If you don't try this you will never know what you are...

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 box of stuffing mix, pork flavor
1 c orange juice
1/2 c boiling water
1/3 c walnuts, toasted and chopped
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 - 4 large bone in pork chops about 1 1/2" to 2" thick
2 - 4 slice bacon, uncooked
2 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp sherry(optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. 2. Combine the stuffing mix with 1/2 cup orange juice, boiling water, walnuts and butter. Let stand 5-10 minutes
3. 3. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops. Mound 1/2 cup of the stuffing mixture on each pork chop and press it down a little. Place a strip of bacon underneath the pork chop and bring the bacon to the top. Twist the bacon, like in the first step of tying a shoe.
4. 4. Place in a prepared pan or casserole dish.
5. 5. Mix the remaining orange juice, honey and sherry(if using). Spoon this over the pork.
6. 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes depending on the thickness of the pork chops. I used two, two inch pork chops and my dish took 60 minutes. Baste after 20 minutes, bake for another 20 minutes and baste again. I basted the pork chops just before serving them and drizzled extra virgin olive oil on top.
7. I had stuffing left so I served it on the side.

Tips:

Choose thick-cut pork chops for a more flavorful and juicy result.
Use a meat mallet to tenderize the pork chops before cooking.
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until they are browned on both sides.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the pork chops for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Walnut pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the walnut coating adds a delicious crunch and nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
