These pork chops take little time to make but will result in a moist delicious chop you will be proud to serve company. Be careful when cooking because the pecans can burn fast.

Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 10 minutes Additional: 5 minutes Total: 25 minutes Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup pecans (I used walnuts as that is what I had on hand)

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 pounds thick cut pork chops (4)

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons canola oil

DIRECTIONS:

• Pulse pecans in a food processor until they resemble crumbs. Transfer to a shallow dish; add panko and cornstarch. Stir to blend.
• Season pork chops with Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and pepper. Coat both sides with Dijon mustard and honey. Add pork chops to the pecan mixture, one at a time, pressing with your fingertips to help the coating stick. Shake off excess and transfer to a lined baking sheet.
• Preheat a large sauté pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Place butter and oil in the pan, then add pork. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Bon Appetit 😋
