Ingredients

Scale

For the Pork Chops:

  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

For the Mushroom Sauce:

  • 8 oz. mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the Pork Chops: Pat pork chops dry and rub with olive oil. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Sear the Pork Chops: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, cook the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and let it reduce. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Parmesan, and thyme. Simmer until thickened.
  5. Finish the Pork Chops: Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer for 6-8 minutes until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite keto sides.

Notes

  • Use bone-in pork chops for better flavor and moisture.
  • Make sure the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F for perfect doneness.
  • You can swap heavy cream for coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
