How to make Pecan Crusted Pork Chops
Use a paper towel to dry the pork chops well.
Gather 3 large flat dishes with sides. Place the cornstarch in the first dish and coat each chop well.
In the second flat dish, whisk egg until beaten. Dip each pork chop in the egg to coat on both sides.
In the 3rd dish, mix together crushed pecans, brown sugar, salt, and allspice.
Coat both sides of the boneless pork chops in the pecan mixture. Sprinkle the mixture on wherever coating isn’t adhering, until fully encrusted.
Heat oil, about 1/2 inch deep, in an electric skillet set on 350 degrees F.
Fry the pork chops 3 – 5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature between 145 – 160 degrees F.
Drain the pork chops briefly on paper towel or a wire rack then serve.

Hi Zona, My electric skillet is the size of a VW. Can you please help me convert the recipe to a stove top, skillet? Thank you. I love your recipes. Thank you for doing what you do! Sincerely, R M Fernley

Hi R M Fernley, for a gas stove top try starting around the number 4 on the burner dial. Heat a high-sided pot with oil for five minutes to ensure the burner has reached its highest temperature. Insert a frying thermometer into the oil to get an accurate reading of the temperature and adjust the burner accordingly to reach 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Thank you and good luck :)
