Peach-Stuffed Pork Chops

Serves 2.

1 cup instant chicken-flavored stuffing mix
1 snack-size can (4 ounce size) diced peaches, undrained
3 tablespoons hot water
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 bone-in center loin pork chops (1 inch thick, about 10 ounces each)
1/4 cup peach preserves
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

In a small bowl, combine the stuffing mix, peaches, water and butter. Cut a pocket in each pork chop by slicing almost to the bone. Stuff with peach mixture and secure with wooden toothpicks.

Place chops in an 11 x 7 x 2-inch baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray.

Combine preserves and mustard; spread over chops. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.

Uncover and bake 15-20 minutes longer or until pork juices run clear.
