This Canadian pork loin chop recipe combines my love for maple and mustard! I wanted to create a flavorful dish that keeps the boneless loin chops juicy. These chops are marinated in a spice rub, lightly breaded, glazed with maple-mustard, and cooked in garlic-infused oil. Perfect for the BBQ, and pairs wonderfully with roasted potatoes and coleslaw!

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, dry mustard, and fennel seeds.
Pat the pork loin chops dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, score the meat on both sides with 1/8-inch deep cross-hatch lines spaced 1/2-inch apart. Rub the spice mixture onto all sides of the pork chops, ensuring it gets into the scored lines. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours to marinate.
In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, brown mustard, a pinch of garlic powder, a pinch of paprika, a pinch of black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Set aside this glaze.
Thoroughly coat the pork chops on all sides with seasoned bread crumbs.
Heat olive oil and canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic to the pan and cook until lightly browned and fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Remove the garlic from the pan and discard.
Place the pork chops into the skillet in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Cook the chops until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Return all pork chops to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Drizzle half of the maple syrup mixture over the pork chops. Turn the chops and cook until glazed, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle the remaining maple syrup mixture over the pork chops, then turn and cook until glazed for another 1 to 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to low, cover the pork chops, and cook until they are slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
