Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried sage
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and one tablespoon of the ghee. Once hot, add the pork chops in a single layer and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate and cover to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of ghee. Once melted, reduce the heat to medium and pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut cream and arrowroot powder until smooth to create a slurry.
Add the slurry to the skillet along with the dried thyme and sage. Stir continuously and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon the gravy over them, and let them simmer in the gravy for an additional 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Garnish the pork chops and gravy with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 Pork Chop with Gravy with steamed vegetables or cauliflower mash on the side.
