Can You Freeze Smothered Keto Pork Chops for Later?
Yes, keto pork chops freeze well if you’d like to save some leftovers for later. This recipe in particular is one of my favorites to meal prep because it stays moist, and the pork chops really soak up the flavors of the other ingredients.
How Long Should You Cook Pork Chops in a Skillet?
First, you’ll want to sear your pork chops for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Then once your sauce is prepared, you’ll simmer it for anywhere between 5 to 7 minutes more.
The cooking time varies depending on the heat you use and the thickness of the pork chop. To speed up the cooking time, you can cover the skillet, but not if you’re still trying to reduce the sauce.
Why Are My Pork Chops Tough?
Since the cooking time varies depending on your cooking method, it’s important that you avoid overcooking your pork chops because they will end up tough.
To avoid this, you can start simmering the sauce first until it’s about halfway to the thickness that you’re aiming for. Once you’ve reached this point, you can add the pork chops so that it won’t cook for too long.
