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:

Use a meat mallet to tenderize the pork chops. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
Dredge the pork chops in flour. This will help the sauce adhere to the chops.
Cook the pork chops in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned.
Add the sauce to the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the chops for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice are all good options.

Conclusion:

Walnut pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork chops are tender and flavorful, and the walnut sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
