Delicious Keto Pork Chops with Broccoli and Cheese
These stuffed pork chops are filled with a creamy mixture of broccoli and cheese, making them a delightful option for dinner. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
- 1 cup fresh broccoli florets, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Pork Chops: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each pork chop by slicing horizontally without cutting all the way through.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Stuff the Pork Chops: Generously fill each pork chop pocket with the broccoli and cheese mixture. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- Sear the Pork Chops: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve hot.
