Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup pecans
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• ½ cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 pounds thick-cut pork chops

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pulse pecans in a food processor until they resemble crumbs. Transfer to a shallow dish; add panko and cornstarch. Stir to blend.

Step 2

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 any excess and transfer to a lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Preheat a large saute 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 (63 degrees C) for medium. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
