How can something this creamy and delicious be keto!? These easy pork chops come complete with a mushroom cream sauce that you'll want to pour over everything. If all keto dinners are this good, sign me up! The cream sauce helps keep the pork chops from tasting dried out and keeps this from being just a boring cut of pork chops. Bonus! It all comes together in well under an hour.
Boneless pork chops are super easy to cook. Start by seasoning both sides of each chop with salt and pepper, and then place them to cook in a large skillet with olive oil heated over medium heat. Cook the chops for about 5 minutes on each side until they are golden and reach an internal temperature of 145°. You will get a better crust on the chops if you allow them to cook the whole time on each side without moving or lifting them—no matter how tempting it is to check. Once cooked through, remove the chops from the skillet and place them aside to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add in the sliced mushrooms and cook them for about 5 minutes until they are softened, and then add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. Take care to move the mushrooms and garlic around while cooking to ensure they cook evenly and don’t stick and burn.
Then add in the heavy cream and Parmesan, stirring to melt the cheese evenly throughout the sauce, before adding in the spices and stirring again.
Allow the sauce to come up to a simmer and cook for about 3 minutes until the sauce has thickened considerably before adding in the baby spinach and cooking for another 2 minutes.
When the sauce has come together, return the pork chops to the skillet and allow them to simmer in the sauce until they are warmed through. This should take about 5 minutes and will allow imbue even more of that pork flavor into the sauce which really takes it up a level. After warming through, plate, serve, and enjoy.

While my keto pork chops are a great meal on their own, pairing them with an extra side makes a great experience even better. I love serving the juicy chops and creamy sauce over cauliflower rice, or with a side of roasted green beans or Italian antipasto brussels sprouts salad, but have fun with it! We have a great list of keto side dishes ready for you.
Both the pork chops and the mushroom cream sauce can keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. While I recommend making the sauce fresh, you can prepare it up to 3 days ahead of time with this method of storage.
