Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Ghee
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth (Whole30-compliant)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (Whole30-compliant)
• 1 teaspoon Arrowroot powder
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the ghee. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.

Step 5

Add the fresh parsley, thyme, and Dijon mustard to the sauce. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the sauce, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chops.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Serve the pork chops hot, drizzled with the creamy herb sauce. Garnish with more fresh parsley if desired.
