Ingredients

1 cup pecans
½ cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 pounds thick-cut pork chops
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

Pulse pecans in a food processor until they resemble crumbs. Transfer to a shallow dish; add panko and cornstarch. Stir to blend.
Season pork chops with Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and pepper. Coat both sides with Dijon mustard and honey. Add pork chops to the pecan mixture, one at a time, pressing with your fingertips to help the coating stick. Shake off any excess and transfer to a lined baking sheet.
Preheat a large saute pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Place butter and oil in the pan, then add pork. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
