# What You’ll Need:

→ Pork Chops and Seasoning

01 - 4 bone-in pork chops, 1 inch thick
02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Roasted Radishes

06 - 1 pound radishes, trimmed and halved
07 - 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

→ Creamy Mushroom Sauce

11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 - 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
13 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
14 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
15 - 1/2 cup chicken broth
16 - 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
17 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
18 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
19 - Salt and pepper to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss radishes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
02 - Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil.
04 - Reduce heat to medium in the same skillet. Add butter and mushrooms, sautéing for 5-6 minutes until mushrooms are browned and moisture evaporates.
05 - Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
06 - Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
07 - Return pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
08 - Plate pork chops with creamy mushroom sauce and roasted radishes on the side.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Low Carb & Keto-Friendly: With only 8g of carbohydrates per serving, it fits perfectly into a keto diet.
  • Rich Flavor: The combination of heavy cream, Parmesan, and Dijon mustard creates a sophisticated sauce.
  • Nutritious Sides: Roasted radishes offer a unique, tender texture that mimics potatoes without the starch.
02 -
  • Perfect Browning: Don't crowd the mushrooms in the skillet; they need space to brown properly rather than steaming in their own moisture.
  • Crispy Radishes: Ensure the radishes are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet to help them crisp up.
  • Resting Time: Let the pork chops rest under foil for a few minutes after searing to keep the juices locked in.
