Cooking Tips

• Make sure to marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
• Press the pecan mixture firmly onto the pork chops to ensure it sticks well during baking.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops for doneness.
• Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to become more tender.
