# What You 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

# Directions:

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

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and creamy without derailing your keto goals, which honestly feels like winning the lottery.
  • You'll have dinner on the table in under 45 minutes, and most of that is just the oven doing the work while you make the magic happen in one skillet.
  • The radishes are a quiet revelation—most people expect them to taste peppery and harsh, then they taste these roasted ones and their whole perspective shifts.
02 -
  • Don't skip drying the pork chops—moisture is the enemy of a good sear, and a sear is what makes this dish sing instead of being just another pan-fried meat.
  • The radishes need that full cooking time to soften; if you rush them, they'll still taste a bit tough, so set a timer and flip them halfway through without peeking.
03 -
  • If your sauce seems too thin after simmering, whisk together a tablespoon of heavy cream with a teaspoon of cornstarch and stir it in—it'll thicken right up without making anything grainy.
  • Buying pre-sliced mushrooms saves time and tastes just as good as slicing them yourself, so there's no shame in taking that shortcut on a weeknight.
