Pan Fried Pork Chops

Pork chops are one of my standby dinner options. I try and always have some in the freezer available in case I need a quick dinner option. Today I just coated the pork chops with a breading and pan fried them!Start by making the spice mixture.  For this one I used a coconut flour base with some black pepper, cayenne pepper and some seasoned salt.  Make sure to use a container that can fit the pork chops.Here’s the breading mixture.Mmmmm, pork chops!  I used bone in but you could use any sort of pork chops.  Make sure they are defrosted and that the outsides are dry.Then plop them into the breading, making sure to get both sides.As you can see, the breading sticks pretty well when the pork chop is dry.Add some butter to your cast iron skillet and get it nice and hot.  You could use other oils but the butter will give it a nice golden brown crust.Now throw them in the skillet!  Make sure to have an exhaust fan on and possibly a cover so you don’t set off the fire alarm!Here’s that golden brown crust I was talking about.And here’s the finished product!  I also had a few pork rinds with some 5-layer keto dip as a side.

Lodge 12-inch Cast Iron Skillet The only pan you really need. Once properly seasoned, this pan can cook anything you can imagine! Lasts forever and never wears out.

Thermapen This probably shouldn’t be the first thing you buy for your keto kitchen, but eventually, you’ll end up buying this thermapen. It seams ridiculous to blow $80+ on a temperature probe but once you go through 5 other cheap ones, or burn your hand waiting for the temperature to stabilize, you’ll wish you just picked one of these up. Its way faster and more accurate at reading temperature and I now almost exclusively cook meat to a done temperature rather than a specific time.

Glasslock 30 Oz. Lunch Containers The easiest way to conquer keto is to premake your lunches. I used to use Ikea 365+ containers but they started to leak after a while. These glasslock containers are by far the nicest I’ve ever seen.
