Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 cup Almonds
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped but not a paste. Transfer the almonds to a shallow dish and mix with panko breadcrumbs, orange zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, orange juice, Dijon mustard, and honey until smooth.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
Press each pork chop into the almond-breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides evenly and pressing gently to adhere the crust.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each pork chop for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the almond crusted orange mustard pork chops with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or roasted potatoes. Enjoy!
