Keto Parmesan Breaded Pork Chops offer a delicious and low-carb option for dinner that's both flavorful and easy to prepare. Perfect for those following a keto diet or anyone looking for a healthier alternative to traditional breaded pork chops, this recipe uses grated Parmesan instead of breadcrumbs to create a satisfying, crispy coating.
Instructions:
- Place the pork fillets on a clean cutting board.
- Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Put the pork fillets in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the Italian salad dressing over the pork, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate. For better flavor, marinate for a few hours or overnight.
- In a shallow bowl or plate, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and regular salt.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution.
- Remove the pork fillets from the marinade, allowing the excess dressing to drip off.
- Dredge each pork fillet in the Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the cheese adheres well to both sides of the meat.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the breaded pork fillets on the prepared baking sheet or dish in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
- If you prefer an extra crispy finish, broil the pork chops for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
- Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
