Serving size: 1 pork chop
425 calories, 37 protein, 30 carbs, 17 fat,

8 pork chops, with or without bone
4 cups dry seasoned Pepperidge Stuffing Mix
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced white onion
1/4 cup Craisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup butter

Prepare stuffing: Melt butter in a large skillet, saute celery and onion until soft. Add dry stuffing mix, Craisins, and pecans. Mix well. Add chicken broth gradually, until stuffing is moistened and sticks together easily. (You may need to add less broth or more depending on how dry the stuffing mix is.)

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place pork chops on a roasting pan or baking sheet. Take approx 1/2 cup of stuffing and mound it on top of the pork chops, covering completely. Use all the stuffing mix. Bake in oven for 30 - 45 minutes, depending on thickness of pork chops (3/4 inch is best). Slice a chop open to check. You don't want them to be pink inside but you don't want them dry either.

Note: You can add 1/2 cup browned Italian sausage to the stuffing for a little extra kick
