Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Crushed pork rinds
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Avocado oil
Instructions
Begin by using a meat mallet to pound the pork chops to about 1/2-inch thickness. This ensures even cooking and tenderness.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Season both sides of the pork chops with this mixture.
In a shallow dish, beat the eggs until well mixed and set aside.
In another shallow dish, mix together the crushed pork rinds, almond flour, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each pork chop in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Then gently press each side of the pork chop into the pork rind mixture, firmly pressing to adhere the crumbs to the meat.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the breaded pork chops to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve your Keto Pork Katsu hot, optionally with a side of Keto-friendly dipping sauce or salad for a complete meal.
