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.
All four of our kiddos loved these Creamy Parmesan Keto Pork Chops. I steamed fresh broccoli and made a small garden salad to eat with it for a complete meal. It is always a win when the entire family loves dinner.
Can You Make Keto Pork Chops in the Slow Cooker?
Yes! You can make Pork Chop keto recipe in the slow cooker. The last time I made this family favorite dish, I cooked the pork chops on low covered with vegetable broth and salt and pepper in my slow cooker for 5-6 hours. 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.

Can you double the sauce for this
Sure. It will change the nutritional info, but you can certainly double the sauce. You may need to simmer it a bit longer for it to reduce properly.
GREAT RECIPE! I ADDED MUSHROOMS AND IT WAS PERFECT! WHOLE FAMILY LOVED IT!
Thanks so much, Jennifer. I’m so glad your entire family loved it.
This was the best keto dish I’ve made. My family ate it and my husband said the sauce would be great with biscuits. Lol. I added mushrooms as suggested. Would give 10 stars
Hey Leah, so glad y’all loved it! Knowing how much people enjoy these dishes means so much to me.
Very good recipe. I did add some mushrooms as suggested from another post. Sauce was excellent and the pork chops are perfect. I may try this with chicken breasts next time. Thank you!
Fantastic. So glad you loved it.
Making it tonight!!
I’m not one to leave reviews, but I had to for this recipe. The sauce is over the top delicious! I’m going to use it for chicken too!
Thanks so much! I’d love it if you’d click the stars to leave a review.
Oh my gosh Just made this it’s delicious. I added one thing The egg wrap cut into strips. Make keto friendly pasta.
Sounds delish! I’ve got to try this.
Really nice!! Thank you
So glad you loved it!!
Made this recipe for dinner tonight, it was a hit! Even my picky son gave it a two thumbs up and went for seconds. Quick, easy meal for this working mom.
Awesome! So glad you loved it.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this. Hubby loved it too! One question: I assume the break-down of nutrients listed on the recipe is per serving but it doesn’t specify. Am I correct?
Fantastic! So glad you both loved it. The number of servings is listed at the top of each recipe card. The nutritional info is based on one serving.
Super delicious! Everyone loved it, and even sopped up the sauce with bread. 😊
My pan wasn’t large enough to brown all the chops at once, so I did shifts. Then I made the sauce, poured it over the chops and baked them. We all agreed, this is a keeper!
So glad y’all loved it! Thanks for the feedback, Tammy!
This has been one of my family’s go-to recipes for the past couple years. I’d say we eat it at least once or twice per month. It is incredible and a dish that our whole family enjoys, including all 4 kids, (even the picky toddler)! I really like it with mushrooms added. We often drizzle a little of the remaining sauce over green beans, broccoli, or cauliflower and it’s a hit!
Thank you so much for sharing! That is amazing you’ve made it so many times and all your kids enjoy it. 🙂
A little upgrade…use chicken stock
It really is easy!
Of all the recipes I’ve ever followed on the net this was so amazing, I had to leave a review, something I’ve literally NEVER done… We love to eat chops and this is our new favorite! I can definitely see adding mushrooms to this and use it for any meat really… And that sauce…. Drizzled on top of the side of veggies…. I can’t believe I lose weight eating amazing rich meals like this!?
Thank you 🙂
Awe, thank you so much, Steph!! I’m so glad you loved this one.
Delicious
So glad you loved it!
