Keto Balsamic Pork Chops

Keto Balsamic Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 4 (140 g) bone-in pork chops, 1.9 cm thick
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 240 ml chicken broth
• 60 ml good quality balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar-free sweetener (like erythritol or stevia)

Directions

1. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper.
2. Melt ghee in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and stir to combine.
3. When ghee and oil shimmer, carefully add chops and cook over medium heat until browned on one side, about 5 to 6 minutes.
4. Turn and cook pork chops until no longer pink in the center and browned on the other side, about 3 to 4 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 63 degrees C (145 degrees F).
5. Remove pork chops from heat and cover to keep warm.
6. Combine chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and sugar-free sweetener in a small saucepan. Bring glaze to a boil over medium-high heat and boil until mixture is reduced to 120 ml, about 5 to 6 minutes.
7. Drizzle pan-fried chops with balsamic glaze and serve warm.
