For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the pork chops after searing and before baking. The smoky char will complement the sweetness of the peach stuffing beautifully. Choose ripe but firm peaches for the stuffing. Overripe peaches will become too mushy during cooking. Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the pork chops. Sear them in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) with oven rack in center position.
02
StepCook bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until almost crisp, about 5 minutes. Add onion and poblano pepper; cook until onion turns translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add peach; cook until tender and starting to render some juice. Transfer to a bowl.
03
StepStir saltines, thyme, black pepper, ¼ teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper into peach mixture; add 2 tablespoons chicken broth to moisten as needed. Refrigerate until ready to use.
04
StepLay pork chops flat onto your work surface. Cut a pocket in center of each pork chop, starting with a small incision on fat side of chops, exactly halfway down, using the tip of a knife to cut as close to the edges as possible without poking through. Try to make pocket incisions at least 2 inches wide.
05
StepFill pockets with peach stuffing, packing and pressing in firmly; season both sides chops with salt.
06
StepHeat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add chops; sear until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip chops and transfer skillet to the oven.
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers reads 145 degrees F to 150 degrees F (63 to 66 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
08
StepTransfer chops to a plate; cover loosely with aluminum foil.
09
StepReturn the skillet to the stovetop; place a towel over the hot handle. Add ¼ cup chicken broth and balsamic vinegar; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Off heat, stir in butter. Taste; adjust seasoning if desired. Serve sauce over pork chops.
