Put the pork chops on the flat work surface cut a slit horizontally towards the bone so chop could be opened up just like a book. Stuff each chop with 1/4 from the stuffing. (If freezing, wrap each chop tightly in freezer wrap, without toothpicks freeze as much as 30 days.) Secure chops with toothpicks.
To prepare and serve: If chops are frozen, thaw in refrigerator overnight.
Preheat oven to 375 degree F.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet. Add chops prepare 2 minutes per side or until browned. Place chops in single layer inside a baking dish just big enough to carry them. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Bake the chops within the oven for fifteen minutes or before the internal temperature registers 155 levels with an instant-read thermometer when placed within the pork. Remove chops to some platter cover with foil. Let stand five to ten minutes in warm place before serving.
