Creamy Garlic Parmesan 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 first choice. However, this Creamy Garlic Parmesan Keto Pork Chop recipe just might have changed my mind. This low carb dish is easy delicious and can be on the table in 30 minutes or less. After a long day at homeschool group, it was such an easy meal and clean up was minimal. Plus, the creamy sauce is amazingly rich and flavorful.
Can I Eat Pork Chops on a Keto Diet?
Yes! Pork Chops are keto-friendly and can be prepared in many different ways such as in a slow cooker, Instant Pot (electric pressure cooker), air fryer, cast-iron skillet, baked in the oven, or on the grill. Fatty meats are a staple of the keto diet for most, so pork chops are an excellent choice.
This skillet pork chop is easy to prepare. Follow the added tips in this picture tutorial, and you’ll master this recipe quickly.
Tip: Begin this recipe by heating the cast iron skillet on medium-high heat then add the olive oil and allow it to get nice and hot before adding the pork chops. Next, sear the pork chops in the skillet for a few minutes on each side. It’s essential to get a good sear to seal in the juices and for added flavor. If they feel like they are sticking to the pan, it’s a sign they aren’t ready to turn. Leave them a bit longer, and they will turn over easily. Although I generally use boneless thin-cut pork chops in this recipe, bone-in pork chops or thick-cut boneless are options as well. In either case, the cooking time may need to be adjusted.
Once the pork chops are nice and browned, set them aside to make the creamy parmesan garlic low carb sauce.
Everyone is going to think you’ve spent a long time in the kitchen, but the truth is these Creamy Parmesan Keto Pork Chops are so easy to make you’ll be shocked. The sauce mixes so quickly, and it has incredible flavor. Don’t be afraid of spices as they give so much depth to this recipe. You could also substitute onion powder and thyme for the Italian seasoning if you prefer. r.
You can’t get much more straightforward than dumping all the ingredients into the skillet then allowing them to boil and thicken for this Pork Chop keto recipe. In this recipe, the whipping cream, cream cheese, and parmesan cheese all compliment each other to form a creamy sauce.
Once the sauce thickens simply add the pork chops back to the skillet and simmer for a few minutes before serving. You aren’t going to believe just how decadent this Easy Keto Pork Chops taste.

Can You Make Keto Pork Chops in the Slow Cooker?
Yes! You can make Pork Chop keto recipe in the slow cooker.

Once they were done, I made the sauce in my skillet right before dinner then nestled the pork chops in the creamy parmesan garlic sauce. They turned out so tender and flavorful, and it made cooking dinner a breeze.
Yum! These mouthwatering pork chops turned out better than I imagined. The sauce is rich, creamy, and full of robust flavor. If you don’t love pork chops, this recipe can be altered to use chicken thighs or chicken breasts instead.

This turned out amazing! Is it bad that I want to just eat the sauce with a spoon? It is soooo good. Thank you!!
Kasey says
Hahaha! So glad you loved it!
Liz says
Could we cook the chops on the charcoal grill and then just make and add the sauce after?
Kasey says
I haven’t personally tried it but I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work.
Deonn says
I didn’t read all the comments. But can you use bone in Pork Chops?
Kasey says
Sure! They will work as well.
Amanda says
So good!! Maybe dumb question but what’s the serving size?
Kasey says
The serving size is listed at the top of the recipe card. I just divide it evenly.
Angela says
I’m wondering if I can throw it all in the instant pot?
Kasey says
I don’t think it would work as the sauce needs to reduce.

Looking forward to trying this recipe although we don’t eat chops, we do however have a freezer half full of pork steaks from the two pigs we raise every year. The steaks need an hour in the oven to be tender, sounds so yummy!!!
