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!
