• Stuff each pork chop as full as you can get it with the stuffing mixture and secure it closed using a toothpick
• Season the outside of the chops with salt, thyme and pepper
• Heat butter in skillet or multi-cooker until melted and then sear the pork chops on each side for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned
