Ingredients
Meat
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
Vegetables & Herbs
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp rosemary
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Liquids
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
Seasonings
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the pork chops: Generously season all sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper to enhance flavor before cooking.
- Prepare the creamy mushroom sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, chicken broth, sliced mushrooms, diced onion, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary to create a rich sauce.
- Combine ingredients in crockpot: Place the seasoned pork chops at the bottom of the crockpot and pour the creamy mushroom mixture evenly over the pork.
- Slow cook the pork: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
- Serve: Carefully remove the pork chops and ladle some creamy mushroom sauce on top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot for a satisfying keto meal.
Notes
- Bone-in pork chops add more flavor and moisture but boneless can be used for quicker cooking.
- For thicker sauce, you can reduce the broth quantity or stir in a teaspoon of xanthan gum before slow cooking.
- Ensure pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for safe consumption.
- Use fresh herbs for best flavor; dried herbs may require reduced amounts.
- Leftovers can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on stovetop or microwave.
