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 missing. Thank you Sea...

How To Make honey walnut pork chops

    2. Combine the stuffing mix with 1/2 cup orange juice, boiling water, walnuts and butter. Let stand 5-10 minutes

    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.

    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.

    I had stuffing left so I served it on the side.
