Keto Pork Chops
I try to cook a variety of different meals and meats each week but it’s so easy to get in a rut and cook the same things over and over. While I like Pork Chops, they aren’t usually my favorite. However, this Creamy Parmesan Garlic Keto Pork Chop recipe just might have changed my mind. It’s a one-skillet meal that is ready in about twenty minutes or so. After a long day at homeschool group, it was such an easy meal and clean up was minimal. The creamy parmesan garlic sauce is absolutely amazingly rich and flavorful. I steamed fresh broccoli and made a small garden salad to eat with it for a complete meal. If you don’t love pork chops you can use chicken instead. The last time I made it, I cooked the pork chops on low in my crock pot for about 6 hours, then made the sauce in my skillet right before dinner to pour over the pork chops. They turned out so tender and flavorful.

I made this for the first time today and it was a winner! The only thing I would do differently next time is to cook the pork chops first, remove them from the pan, and then cook the onions and garlic. I served this with a side of simple steamed broccoli and spooned some of the sauce over it. Very delicious meal and all one pan!
Awesome! So glad you loved it!
Wonderful with chicken too
Yes! I’ve made it both ways. So glad you enjoyed it.
Can you include the nutritional information on the recipe card so that when it’s printed, we know that information is? Thank you
With my current recipe plugin it isn’t possible, but I am looking to update soon and am hoping to be able to include it then. Thanks!
This went over very well with my husband. Definitely a keeper!
Awesome!!
Sauce was so yummy pork needed to cook longer but soooo good
So good you enjoyed it!
I made this tonight and am currently in heaven. I paired it with asparagus and spinach sautéed in bacon grease. lol Like I said HEAVEN
Awesome! So glad you loved it.
Made this for the first time tonight. Absolutely a winner. Great taste!!! My husband loved it. I sautee zucchini, squash, onions, green peppers, and mushrooms together for a side dish
So glad you all loved it! That sounds like a great option for a side dish.
Could this be made in the crockpot?
I haven’t tested it in the crockpot so I can’t give a recommendation.
I make this dish in the crockpot except I don’t add the cream and cheeses until right before serving. Excellent!
Can I freeze this dish please ?
I can’t say for sure as I have never tried freezing it.
This was delicious, and so quick and easy to make! I added some chopped mushrooms and served it over thinly sliced, steamed cabbage. This will definitely be part of my regular rotation!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Is the parm cheese supposed to be a shredded 1/3 cup or just chunks? Please answer asap as I will make Wed I think, or try. Not a cook.
It will melt much better if it is shredded.
Thanks
Hello! My name is Tori and this is my second week on Keto. I made this last night for my family and it was a HUGE hit!!! I struggle to get my two-year-old to eat meat but he ate over half of a pork chop and my oldest ate two pork chops! He kept calling the sauce the “Good Sauce” Hahaha! He has already asked me to make it again this week! I have already fallen in love with this keto diet and recipes like this seal the deal. I am so glad that I can make food that I can eat following my diet as well as having my family enjoy the food. Thank you for sharing this AWESOME recipe. I can’t wait to try it with chicken next.
I am so glad that you shared with me. I have a 1 yr old and 3 yr old so I understand how much that compliment of it being a “good sauce” means. LOL!
The macros is that per serving or is that as a whole dish?
It is per serving.
This meal was amazing! However, I’m trying to triple it tonite and it’s not thickening up as nice as it did when I made it for just the above servings. Any suggestions?
The greater the amount of sauce or gravy the longer it takes to thicken. You may need to add more Xanthan gum.
Added mushrooms, spinach and atrichokes to the sauce. So good!!
Sounds like great additions. Thanks for sharing. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
I made this tonight, it was excellent, thank you! I paired it with steamed broccoli so i could dip it in the sauce, yum! I’ve already recommended it to a friend.
Sounds delicious! Thanks so much for the recommendation.
Delicious! I paired it with sugar snap peas sautéed with olive oil & garlic
Yum! Glad you enjoyed it.
We are getting ready to make this for the second time! It’s a good one👍
Normally I can’t get recipes that I find online to turn out. This recipe did! It was on yummy! The kids even ate it. I paired it with zucchini wedges and your keto biscuit.
Thanks so much for the recipes that you provide us with.
Awesome! I’m so glad it turned out for you. You are so very welcome.
This was amazing! I passed the recipe on to many friends even those not doing low carb! Thank you for sharing so many recipes!! Recipes like this make the transition to low carb much easier!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing.
Is the cream cheese necessary?
I’ve never tasted this recipe without it so I’m not sure how it would taste without.
New to the low-carb diet and have found your website to provide many recipe options that appeal to my tastes. Tried the Creamy Parmesan Garlic smothered Pork Chop and it was absolutely delicious!! Can’t wait to try others you have published.
Awesome! Glad you loved it!
Made this tonight for the first time! Huge hit 🙂 thank you
Yay! So glad you loved them.
Holy god. This was so amazing and easy!! I did all the prep before (which is always amazing to be able to do) but I did make a few changes: beef broth, bc it better pairs with pork despite the usual, cheddar and Swiss bc Kraft had a sale on “expert pairings” and 2% heavy cream mix, DAMN
Sounds fantastic! So glad you loved it.
Thanks girl!
I DO cook and this is awesome!
Winner winner pork loin dinner!!!
Sure! So glad you enjoyed the recipe.
Was wondering if you need fresh parmesan cheese or can I use the grated Parmesan cheese?
I grate mine freshly but you can use what4ever you prefer.
It’s a huge winner!!! Thank you Kasey
Yay! So glad you loved it.
Hi! I was wondering if I could use bone in? Would be just cooking tome for the chops?
Thanks Beautiful!
Hi! Yes, feel free to use bone-in but I’m not sure of the cook time as I’ve only used boneless.
Can I do this with bone in pork chops?
Sure, you just may have to adjust the cook time.
