Delicious Keto Garlic Butter Pork Chops with Green Beans
In this recipe, juicy pork chops are cooked in a garlic butter sauce, accented by fresh green beans. The preparation takes about 30 minutes, making it an ideal choice for a healthy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Pork Chops: Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Sear the Pork Chops: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add butter and minced garlic. Stir for about a minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Cook the Green Beans: Add the green beans to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Optionally, drizzle with lemon juice for added flavor.
- Combine and Serve: Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon the garlic butter over the top, and let them warm through for an additional minute. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
