Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Start by seasoning the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Allow it to melt, then add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Bring it to a simmer.
Whisk in the heavy cream and let it simmer for another 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the sauce and whisk vigorously to avoid any lumps. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens to your liking, about 3-4 more minutes.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a pinch more salt or pepper to taste.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over the top, and let them heat through for about 2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving, if desired.
Serve the pork chops hot with the gravy drizzled on top. Enjoy your keto-friendly meal!
