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:
- Choose the right pork chops: For this recipe, it's best to use bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Make sure the peaches are ripe: Ripe peaches will be sweet and juicy, which will add great flavor to the pork chops. If you can't find ripe peaches, you can use canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pork chops, be sure to leave enough space between them in the pan so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chops will steam instead of sear, and they won't be as flavorful.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to perfection is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chop, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest: Before serving, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Peach-stuffed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of sweet peaches and savory pork is irresistible, and the chops are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
