Honey Maple Pecan Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 3 pounds boneless pork chops, 1/4 inch thick, *pounded thin

• 4 tablespoons butter

• 1/2 cup flour to dredge pork chops

• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped (lightly toasted)

• 1/4 cup honey

• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1/3 cup chicken broth

• salt & pepper to taste

Directions

In a small bowl, mix honey, maple syrup, soy sauce, chicken broth and pecans - set aside.

In a shallow dish mix flour and salt and pepper.  In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, melt butter.  Dredge pork chops in flour, shake off excess and place in skillet. Brown both sides and cook until pork chops are cooked through (*reaching a safe internal temp of  145 degrees f. with a 3-minute rest).  Once ready, move chops to a serving plate. 

Reduce heat to medium and add the honey-maple-pecan mixture to the butter drippings in the skillet.  Heat until hot, stirring continuously.  Once heated through, spoon mixture over pork chops and serve.  Enjoy!

I did not pound my chops thin, I cooked them as is.
