PORK CHOPS DIJON - LOW CARB
Quick & yummy recipe that I made last night, and LOVED! I used sliced pork loin instead of chops, and I didn't have any low-carb Italian, so used Woody's Parmesan Peppercorn, instead. And surprisingly, it didn't have a STRONG mustard flavor, even with 3 tbs of dijon. Another keeper from Better Homes & Gardens "Phase I Low Carb Recipes."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F Season chops on both sides with kosher salt and pepper. In a shallow mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, spicy brown mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and Italian seasoning. Dredge each chop in the mustard mixture, liberally coating both sides. On a large plate, spread Parmesan cheese into a thin layer. Coat mustard covered chops liberally with Parmesan cheese on both sides. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and place chops on cooling rack. This will allow them to get crisp on both sides. Bake for 20 minutes. Then broil on high, on the top oven rack for 3-4 minutes or until chops are nice and crisp and golden brown.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops. Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Don't overcook the pork chops. Pork chops are best when cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the chops dry and tough.
- Use a meat thermometer. The best way to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the right temperature is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chop, making sure not to touch the bone.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Dijon Parmesan-crusted pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful weeknight meal, give this recipe a try.
