Yesterday afternoon I was trying to figure out what to make for a keto friendly dinner that would not require me standing over the stove. My two year old had just woken up from her nap, I still needed to nurse the baby, and I wasn’t sure what time my husband would be leaving work. So, I knew it would be best if I could put something together that I could sit aside and then throw in the oven once my husband was on his way home from work. Then I remembered my Ground Mustard & Parmesan Pork Chops recipe. With just a couple of tweaks, I could easily make it keto friendly. By adding butter, the parmesan topping kind of fried in the oven. It reminded me of my grandmother’s friend pork chops. I would recommend bone-in pork chops to up the fat content, but I only had boneless on hand. I will definitely be adding this recipe to our regular dinner rotation.

Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

Calories: 509kcal

Author: Kasey

Ingredients

• 8 center cut thin pork chops (can use bone-in or boneless
• 2 TBS coconut oil
• 2 TBS butter
• 3/4 cup parmesan cheese
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tbsp parsley
• 1 tsp thyme
• ½ tsp pink salt
• ¼ tsp pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Cover baking pan with parchment paper, then spray with cooking spray.
• In a bowl combine melted butter, coconut oil, parmesan cheese, and spices.
• Place pork chops on baking pan.
• Brush the spice and parmesan cheese mixture on top of pork chops.
• Bake for 20-25 min (depending on the thickness of pork chops), then broil for 3 min so that tops of pork chops can get golden brown. I always use a thermometer to check the temperature.
• Spoon extra butter in the baking pan on top of pork chops when serving.
