Pecan Crusted Pork Chops Recipe
Pecan Crusted Pork Chops are coated in brown sugar, allspice, and pecans which complement the pork really well. Try dipping them in spicy brown mustard, Dijon mustard, or drizzle them with honey. Ready in 25 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 boneless pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 egg
- ½ cup finely chopped pecans (unsalted)
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Pat dry the pork chops with paper towel.
- Gather 3 large flat dishes. Place cornstarch in the first flat dish and press each chop into it until well coated.
- In the second flat dish, whisk egg until beaten. Dip each pork chop in the egg to coat.
- Mix together crushed pecans, brown sugar, salt, and allspice in the third flat dish.
- Place the pork chops in the pecan mixture to coat. Flip over to coat the second side. Sprinkle the mixture on wherever coating isn't adhering, until fully encrusted.
- Heat the oil, about 1/2 inch deep, in an electric skillet set on 350 degrees F.
- Cook the pork chops 3 - 5 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook another 3 - 5 minutes on the other side or until it reaches an internal temperature between 145 - 160 degrees F.
- Drain the pork chops briefly on paper towel or a wire rack then serve.
