Low Carb Grilled (Or Broiled) Garlic Lime Pork Chops

These pork chops are flavorful,
moist and simple to make.

Ingredients:

4 - 6 (6 ounce) lean boneless pork chops**

3/4 teaspoon dried cilantro

3/4 teaspoon chili powder

3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

6 small or 4 large cloves of garlic

1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest

5 teaspoons fresh lime juice

Method:

Trim excess any fat from the pork chops and place them in a pan or bowl. Season both sides of the pork chops with the cilantro flakes, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Crush the cloves of garlic in a garlic press and add to the pork. Sprinkle with the lime zest and juice. Allow to marinate for 20 minutes or longer.

Lightly spray grill with avocado or olive oil. Grill the chops over medium-high heat (375* - 425*) for 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

To broil, line a broiler pan with aluminum foil. Place the pork chops on the foil and broil for 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and no longer pink.

For a low carb meal, serve with vegetables and/or cauliflower rice. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

**I used lean, boneless pork loin that I cut into individual 6 inch chops.

Note: My husband didn't think he liked pork chops until he tried these. They were so good, that he asked if we could have the same dinner the next evening. 😃
