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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut cream and arrowroot powder until smooth to create a slurry.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
