Season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside for filling to cool.
In a mixing bowl, add the beef broth, orange juice, dijon mustard, lemon juice, zest, and parsley.
To freeze: Once filling is cooled completely, wrap each stuffed pork chop individually in plastic wrap. Divide and pour the broth mixture into indicated number of quart-size freezer bags; sealing tightly. Place the wrapped pork chops and 1 quart-size bag with the broth inside in each gallon-size freezer bag. Label and freeze.
To serve: Thaw in refrigerator. Cook the pork chops in a skillet over medium-high heat, or until meat is fully cooked. Remove from pan to let rest. Pour broth mixture into same pan, and reduce for about 4 minutes. Pour over pork chop to serve.
