How To Cook Pork Chops In A Pan Low Carb & Delicious

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it only uses on pan. Just pull out your favorite skillet (this is my favorite) and get cooking!

Here are some tips for cooking your pan seared pork chops just right without any flour (yes, it's possible!).

Season Your Pork Chops

Instead of flour on the outside of your pork chops, you'll use a little bit of garlic salt for a rich flavor. Use as little or as much as you'd like, based on your preferences (but really, can you ever have too much garlic? The answer is NO...but you also don't want too much salt, so don't go too heavy).

The salt helps tenderize the meat and the garlic salt also adds a delicious, subtle bite to your pork that will only be enhanced with your homemade creamy mushroom sauce.

Sear Them In The Hot Skillet

Using medium heat, melt your coconut oil in the skillet and have it nice and hot before adding your meat. Once you place your pork chop in, sear it 3 minutes on one side before flipping it over and repeating.

You want an internal temperature of 145 for pork, so if it takes a little more than 3 minutes on each side go ahead and cook it until done.

Let Your Pork Chops Rest

As soon as they are cooked through, remove your pan seared pork chops to a plate and cover them with foil while you make the creamy mushroom sauce. This will keep them warm, but also give time to let the juices distribute in the meat and keep things delicious.

Make A Sauce With The Drippings

And the best flavor comes when you make a sauce from the drippings in the pan...which you are about to do. Is your mouth watering yet? It should be.

How To Make Mushroom Cream Sauce With No Flour

Usually a mushroom gravy for smothered pork chops is made with flour or a can of cream of mushroom soup. But this low carb pork chop gravy is healthy for you and uses none of that!

To have a truly healthy, low carb, gluten free creamy mushroom sauce recipe without flour, you'll rely on time and heavy cream over heat to do their thing.

Let's keep cooking...

Once you've removed your pork chops and covered them, return to the same pan to make your creamy mushroom sauce. You'll get such a rich flavor because the pork juices will give a depth to your sauce that you can't achieve if you make it separately. Plus, one skillet!

Add butter, mushrooms, and garlic to the pan and sauté for about two minutes. Your kitchen will smell even more amazing and your garlic will be turning golden (but don't burn it!).

Lastly, add in the heavy cream and simmer gently for 3-5 minutes. You'll want to keep an eye on it and give some gentle stirring so it doesn't scorch. If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a tiny pinch of gluccie to help.

Return your pork chops to the pan, simmer for a minute or two, and then it's ready to serve!

Which Mushrooms Should I Use?

You can use any mushroom you have at the ready for this recipe. True story. But some are going to be better than others.

Your simple white mushrooms are going to be the most cost effective, so if you're on a tight budget this week but still want the savory goodness of pan seared pork chops and mushroom gravy then use them.

Cremini mushrooms are also commonly used for a pork chop gravy and other creamy mushroom sauce recipes, so they are a solid choice.

Portobello mushrooms, however, are my personal choice for the best flavor in your creamy mushroom sauce recipe and will give the absolute best taste to your low carb smothered pork chops. Try them...your taste buds will thank you.

Benefits Of Cooking With Mushrooms

According to studies, mushrooms are a nutritionally dense food that have health boosting properties.

In Asia, they've been used medicinally for thousands of years. They are rich in B-vitamins, have some protein and fiber, and even have anti-inflammatory properties.

Not only do they enhance your meal's flavor, they can help enhance your health as well.

Serving Pork Chops With Mushroom Cream Sauce

To serve your pan seared pork chops, pull one out of the skillet onto a plate and spoon some of the thickened sauce on top. You can sprinkle on some parsley for added color and flavor if you'd like, too.

You can even serve them over this keto risotto for an extra special treat!

Easy Cheesy Peas would make a delicious low carb side dish for them, as would simple roasted broccoli which you could have baking while you make your dinner on the stovetop.

And if you love this and want to try a fantastic recipe for the grill next time, bacon wrapped pork chops are just what you've been looking for. Enjoy!
