Grilled Stuffed Pork Chops – Keto Approved

This is one way I can cook pork chops without overcooking and drying them out…by stuffing them! This grilled stuffed pork chops entree is an easy dish to prepare and a delicious way to spruce up boring pork chops for company or a casual weeknight dinner. This is a keto friendly dinner that can also be suitable for a balanced macro diet with a little bit of macro pre-planning for the day.

A lot of the ingredients can probably already be found in your fridge and pantry!

Maybe you’re wondering what makes this recipe keto friendly. Keto recipes are low-carb with a higher fat content.

This particular recipe isn’t too high in fat that should prevent anyone not on keto to enjoy. When I am eating on a keto diet, not everyone else in my family is eating so low-carb.

This would be one of the flexible dinners that will appeal to all, not just the keto plans. By adding appropriate sides, some low-carb, others more moderate carbs, everyone can enjoy the stuffed pork chops.

Ingredients/Shopping List

• 4 – 1 – 1 1/2 inches thick Pork Chops
• 2 Tbsp Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 12 oz Fresh Spinach
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 2 tbsp Sour cream
• 1 cup Chicken broth, sugar free
• Kosher salt
• Black pepper

Substitutions

Goat cheese or feta cheese can be used to mix with the spinach instead of cream cheese to add variety. Those cheeses will not melt into the creaminess of cream cheese. When creating the sauce, it would be best to use cream cheese.

Equipment needed to grill pork chops

Personally, I prefer to cook pork chops on the grill. We have an indoor grill that’s cast iron like this one that sits on top of our stovetop.

Of course, if you would rather grill them on your outside grill, that would be acceptable also.

• Indoor or outdoor grill
• Skillet
• Sharp knife
• Small bowl
• Cutting board
• Whisk
