Pork Chops with Maple Pecan Sauce

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 4 (4 ounce) lean boneless center-cut loin pork chops
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• Vegetable cooking spray
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons maple sugar
• 1 tablespoon toasted pecans, chopped

Instructions

1. Trim fat from chops. Place chops between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
2. Spread mustard on both sides of chops.
3. Combine flour and ginger; stir well. Dredge pork chops in flour mixture.
4. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; add oil. Place over medium heat until hot. Add chops, and cook 3 minutes on each side or until chops are browned.
5. Combine maple syrup and pecans; add to pork chops, stirring to coat. Cover and simmer 4 minutes or until chops are tender, turning once.
6. Transfer chops to a large serving platter.
