I have been buying these thin cut pork chops from Aldi and you get like 10-12 in a pack. So I was trying to think of other things I could make with them and came up with this keto creamy tomato pork chops recipe.
It only took me about 15 minutes to make and I only used 4 ingredients. Not only was it delicious, it only 0.8g net carb per pork chop so we had 2 each. Plus the sauce is very simple but tasty so I’m sure you can find many things that will go with it.
The 4 Ingredients I Used For This Dish
As you may know I really like shopping at Aldi because the prices are good and it’s so close to my house. So the 4 ingredients I used were boneless pork chops, heavy cream, parmesan cheese and their marinara sauce.
A note about the sauce. I have been looking for a good low carb pasta sauce. I have to say this is my favorite; Aldi Specialty Selects Marinara. It only has 4g net carbs in a half cup and it tastes good! I made this with another low carb sauce and it was too sour. My husband (and me) really liked this dish with Aldi’s sauce.
Step 1: Brown The Pork Chops
First sprinkle some salt and pepper on the pork chops before browning them.
These thinpork chops only take a few minutes on each side to brown. You could even skip this step but it gives the pork chops color and a little more taste and only takes a few minutes.
Step 2: Make The Creamy Tomato Sauce
This creamy tomato sauce is low carb and yummy. You could use this sauce with chicken, shrimp or on veggie noodles.
All you do is add the marinara, cream and parmesan cheese to the skillet that you browned the pork chops it. Take out the pork chops first then add the sauce ingredients and whisk. Let it come to a simmer.
Step 3: Putting It Altogether
Now all you have to do is put the pork chops back in the sauce and cover for 3 minutes. Then take off the lid and let the liquid boil down a little and that’s it!
Recipe Tips & Notes
- I used very thin pork chops, if yours are thicker it make take longer to cook. Adjust accordingly.
- The tomato sauce I used was a Specialty Selects Marinara sauce that I get from Aldi. It only has 4g net carbs per ½ cup. You can use your favorite tomato sauce but check the carbs. Many brands are very high. I tried this with a different brand and really didn’t like it as much.
- If you wanted you can mix in some zucchini noodles to soak up some of the sauce and to be a side dish. I served these pork chops with some spinach which you could also just add to the pan.
