FROM: SUSAN GOLDFIELD
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In small skillet heat chicken stock and saute onion, mushrooms and apple until onion is translucent. In small bowl or cup pour boiling water over raisins. Set aside a few minutes until raisins are "plumped". Drain. Stir raisins, breadcrumbs, parsley, and seasoning into mixture in skillet. Cut a deep pocket in each pork chop. Fill with stuffing and secure with wooden picks. In skillet coated with non-stick spray, brown chops quickly on both sides. Place chops side by side in small baking dish. Pour in a little water (just enough to cover bottom of dish) Cover and bake 35 to 45 minutes, ot until done. Serve chops with applesauce. Makes 2 servings (about 246 calories per serving) *I have a terrible time cuting pockets in meat, so I always ask my butcher to do it for me.;-) Submitted By SHARON STEVENS On 11-12-94
