Make the cornbread and let cool.
Cornbread Stuffing: In mixing bowl, toss together the cornbread, onion, green pepper, butter, egg, pimiento, salt and pepper.
Take each chop and fill the pocket with the stuffing, dividing all of the stuffing amongst the chops.

Brush half of the glaze (see recipe above) over the tops of the chops.
Cover with wax paper.

Let stand for 5 minutes.
