Keto Pecan Crusted Pork Chops

 These delicious Keto Pork Chops are an easy 30 minute weeknight meal! The perfect low-carb dinner with under 4 net carbs per chop! 

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless pork chops
• 1/4 cup dijon mustard (or your favorite kind)
• 2 cups pecans
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Spread a spoonful of mustard on one side of each pork chop, set aside.
• Pour the pecans into a food processor and blend until you have a good crumb consistency. I like to keep it kind of chunky, but you can crush them to a finer texture if you prefer. Set pecans aside in a shallow bowl.
• In another shallow bowl beat the eggs.
• Dip each pork chop in the egg, then the pecan mixture. Press the pecans into the pork chops lightly to ensure a good solid crust.
• Place your breaded pork chops in the freezer for 10 minutes, I think this helps to really seal the crust so the pecans stay on better. However, if you are short on time you can skip this step.
• Preheat a skillet to medium heat with the olive oil.
• Cook two pork chops at a time in the skillet, 1-2 minutes on each side. You are just looking for good color here, they will finish baking in the oven.
• Place pan seared pork chops on a baking sheet and cook 15-20 minutes.
• Please note your cooking time will vary based on how thick your pork chops are. I rely on my meat thermometer.
