How to Make It:

Pound the chops between 2 pieces of plastic wrap until they are a 1/4 inch thick.
Place the flour into a shallow bowl.
In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the egg, mustard and cayenne pepper.
In a third shallow bowl combine the breadcrumbs and pecans.
Cover the meat with the flour then dip into the egg mixture.
Place the meat into the bread crumbs and roll to cover completely.
Place the oil into a skillet and heat over medium high heat.
