Recipe
Preheat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and bacon to the skillet and cook 2 minutes. Add celery and onion and season mixture with herbs, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to madium. Cook vegetables 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Crumble the corn muffins into the pan and combine stuffing.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium high heat. Drizzle chops with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook chops 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Do not over cook. The chops should be firm but still giving off juices.
To assemble stuffed chops, set a thin chop on dinner plate or serving plate. Mound the pork chop with stuffing, allowing some to spill onto the plate. Top with second chop. Repeat with 3 remaining servings.
