Paleo Creamy Ranch Pork Chops











Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Whole 30, & Paleo!

Ingredients: 

  • 4 large pork chops 
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon ghee, divided 
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced 
  • 1 can chicken broth* 14.5 oz 
  • 1 tablespoon paleo ranch seasoning mix *
  • 1 cup coconut cream 
  • Salt and pepper,  to taste
  • 3-4 tsp arrowroot starch 


Paleo Ranch Seasoning 

1 tsp salt 

1 tsp pepper 

2 tbs parsley flakes 

1 tbs celery salt 

1 tbs garlic powder 

1 tbs onion powder 

1 tbs dill weed 

1 tbs dried chives (optional—I didn’t have any this time and it tasted fine without it) 



Directions

Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper. 

Heat large, oven safe pan over medium heat and melt 2 TBS ghee then drizzle olive oil. 

Add pork chops and cook 2-3 min each side. 

When cooked, transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. 


Add 1 TBS ghee to pan, melt, and then add minced garlic. Cook for 1 min until fragrant. 

Add in chicken stock, 1 TBS ranch seasoning, and coconut cream. Stir and bring to a simmer. 

Mix in 2 tsp arrowroot starch with 1 TBS of cold water then stir into stock/cream mixture. Let simmer 2 min. 


If you want to thicken sauce more, add additional tsp + water mixture at a time and continuously stir until desired sauce thickness. 


Once sauce is at desired thickness, add pork chops back into pan and simmer 3-5 min. 


If pork chops are not reaching cooked temperature quickly, (145 F or above) you can add the pan to a preheated 425 F oven and cook 5-8 min. 




Serve with cauliflower rice (paleo/whole 30), regular rice (not paleo/not whole 30), and veggies. 


Enjoy!
