Ingredients

30 round buttery crackers, finely crushed (about 1-1/4 cups)
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, divided
6 boneless pork chops (1-1/2 lb.), 1/2 inch thick
1 egg, beaten
3 Tbsp. oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped
1 tsp. brown sugar
1/4 cup PLANTERS Dry Roasted Peanuts, chopped

Steps:

Combine cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup cilantro in pie plate. Dip chops in egg, then in crumb mixture, turning to evenly coat both sides of each chop.
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add 3 chops; cook 4 min. on each side or until done (145°F). Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm. Repeat with 1 Tbsp. of the remaining oil and remaining chops; remove from heat, then let stand 3 min.
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in small saucepan on medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until golden brown. Add broth, peanut butter, peppers and sugar; stir. Bring to boil on medium-high heat; simmer on medium-low heat 3 min. or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Serve chops topped with sauce, nuts and remaining cilantro.
