Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well combined.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
One at a time, dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
Then, dredge the pork chop in the almond flour mixture, pressing down slightly to adhere the coating to each side of the chop.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded pork chops to the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will ensure they remain juicy and tender.
Serve with your favorite low-carb side dish, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
