This Keto Pork Chops recipe will not leave you missing the carbs. Thick cut boneless pork chops are pan fried and topped with a decadent Parmesan cream sauce with garlic and basil. Just add a couple low carb side dishes and you have a special meal in under 30 minutes, while following your keto diet plan.
Boneless pork chops are a reasonably priced cut of meat and you can sometimes find them thick cut, which helps keep them moist. Ask your butcher to cut some thicker ones for you if they are not ready packaged that way. Pan frying the chops and serving them with a rich herb and Parmesan cream sauce elevates the humble cut of meat to gourmet fare. All this while keeping the dish down to a keto friendly 7 net carb grams per serving. The cream sauce for the pork chops is also gluten free, if that is a concern.
KETO SIDE DISHES FOR PORK CHOPS
