Stuffed Pork Chops

I made this for my family, and they loved it! The original recipe called for a bit less raisins than I added (my amount is below), and I used a bit more butter than called for (my amount is also below). I served this with Asparagus Parmesan, and it was a very nice complement. We found this to be quick, and very tasty. From Martha Stewart Everyday Food. This is a very simple recipe to make. Enjoy!
