These keto pork chops in creamy garlic sauce are perfect for a nice keto-friendly dinner. The problem with pork chops, I find, is that they always seem to taste kind of dry on their own. Well, with this delicious creamy garlic sauce, that problem is solved. At only 3 grams of net carbs per portion, this is a recipe you will love.
For the ingredients
Pork Chops: I always get my pork chops from our local farmer. But you can also get them at your grocery store.
Butter: I used (Kerrygold) butter to sear the pork chops in and fry the onion and garlic. I love the taste of butter, but you can also use other cooking fats for this recipe such as ghee, coconut oil, duck fat, or beef tallow.
Seasoning: I kept it very basic when it comes to the seasoning of the recipe because a lot of flavors came from the juice left from the searing of the meat. I just used salt, pepper, and parsley for seasoning this dish.
Heavy cream: When choosing a heavy cream make sure it’s unsweetened, organic, and preferably from grass-fed, grass-finished cows. This way you avoid the added sugars, antibiotics, and GMO crops that are fed to these animals which in turn can harm your health.
Parmesan cheese: I used parmesan cheese that was grated almost powdery. You can also use a parmesan block and grate it yourself. When choosing parmesan cheese, try to find one that only has parmesan and cultures in the ingredient list, preferably no preservatives.
