Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 cup Pecans
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the pecans in a food processor and pulse until they’re finely chopped but not powdery. Transfer to a shallow dish.
Step 3
Mix the chopped pecans with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper in the dish. Stir until well combined.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth. In a third dish, add the flour.
Step 5
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off excess.
Step 6
Dip the floured pork chops into the beaten eggs, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
Step 7
Press the pork chops into the pecan-breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides and gently pressing to adhere.
Step 8
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Step 9
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 10
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
