Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Cut a deep pocket into the side of the pork chops, making a small entrance hole and moving the knife back and forth to enlarge the pocket. Be careful you don't poke through the other side. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, combine mashed avocado, lemon juice, butter and garlic and mix well. Stir in diced avocado. Using a small spoon, fill the pockets in the pork chops with this mixture. Secure with toothpick and sprinkle chops with flour.
Melt butter with olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet and add chops; brown on both sides. Transfer to oven.
Bake for 20-30min until a meat thermometer registers 155. Let stand for 5min, then serve.
