Keto-Friendly Benefits

This recipe is designed to fit seamlessly into a ketogenic lifestyle. It prioritizes high-fat ingredients like butter and heavy cream, while minimizing carbohydrates. Pork chops are naturally low in carbs and high in protein, making them an excellent choice for keto dieters. The addition of mushrooms provides essential nutrients and fiber, while the creamy sauce adds a luxurious element without compromising ketosis. Enjoy the flavors without the guilt.

Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops (about 6 ounces each)

4 tbsp butter, unsalted

8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup dry white wine (optional, but adds flavor)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chicken broth

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Cooking Instructions

    1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. This helps create a nice crust when searing.

    2. Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pork chops.

    3. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

    4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced cremini mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.Do not overcrowd the pan; if necessary, cook the mushrooms in batches.

    5. If using white wine, pour it into the skillet and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce slightly, about 1-2 minutes. This step adds depth of flavor to the sauce.

    6. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.Stir frequently to prevent the cream from scorching.

    7. Return the pork chops to the skillet and nestle them in the mushroom sauce. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops to coat.

    8. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the pork chops are heated through and the sauce has thickened to desired consistency.

    9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
