Stuffing pork chops:
Make a small cut on the side of the pork chop, horizontally. Make a pocket in the center of pork chop by moving the tip of the knife from left to right. Try to keep entry incision as small as possible. This will be your pocket to stuff the pork chop. With your fingers, carefully stuff pork chop with cheese and pesto mixture.
Prepare grill or smoker to 325 F. Place stuffed pork chops on a rack over indirect heat. Cook pork chops until chops reach an internal temperature of 145 F, approximately 15-25 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
