Honey Pecan Pork Cutlets

Honey Pecan Pork Cutlets are one of our easy weeknight favorites. This dish will have dinner on the table in less than 15 minutes. Plus, what’s not to love about honey pecans and a simple pork chop?

Pork cutlets or thinly sliced pork chops cook quickly, less than 10 minutes. Because this dish cooks quickly, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on it during cooking. There have been a few times, that I have walked away for a minute  and came back to pork chops that were over cooked or burnt honey. Please heed my advice and just stay with them.

For this recipe, I use an all purpose Greek Seasoning. I love the flavors it imparts to the honey and pork. If you don’t have a Greek seasoning, you can use any all-purpose seasoning you have on hand or simply salt and pepper.
