Add 1 teaspoon rubbed sage to a 6 oz. package of Stove Top Stuffing Mix. Add the stuffing mix to the hot broth.

When the stuffing has rested in the covered saucepan for 5 minutes, pack as much of the stuffing into the pork chop pockets as possible. Use a wooden toothpick to pin the opening back together, using your fingers to stuff back in any of the stuffing that spills out. Place the two pork chops in a casserole dish that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 35 minutes. Bring the casserole out of the oven temporarily.
