Pork Chops With Maple Pecan Sauce

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 syrup
.....1 tablespoon chopped toasted pecans

Preparation

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. Spread mustard on both sides of chops. Combine flour and ginger; stir well. Dredge pork chops in flour mixture.

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. Combine maple syrup and pecans; add to pork chops, stirring to coat. Cover and simmer 4 minutes or until chops are tender, turning once.

Transfer chops to a large serving platter, and garnish with celery leaves, if desired.
