    These Blackened Pork Chops with Garlic Aioli are to die for! They are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The creamy garlic aioli pairs oh so nicely with it. With this recipe, you can have dinner on the table within 15 minutes?

    • First off, it is super simple to make. 
    • Secondly, the pork chops are hassle free and oh so crispy yet juicy on the inside.

    What Do I Need To Make Blackened Pork Chops?

    • Boneless pork chops-I like getting mine from Butcher Box! Use my link HERE and get free meat every month with your order. 
    • Ghee-To help with the pan searing. 

    For the cajun seasoning-

    • Chili powder, paprika & cayenne-Give these blackened pork chops a nice kick!
    • Garlic powder, oregano, and sea salt-Add some nice flavoring.

    What Kind Of Sauce Goes Well With Blackened Pork Chops?

    • I am a huge fan of aioli. These pan seared pork chops would go great with garlic aioli or dill aioli.

    How To Make Pan Seared Blackened Pork Chops?

    • First off, add your ghee to your pan and turn the stovetop on to medium heat. 
    • Next, mix all of your spices together and sprinkle over the pork chops. 
    • Add the pork chops to the pan for 5 minutes and then flip for 5 more minutes for a total of 10 minutes. The pork needs to reach 145 degrees F to be considered done and safe to eat. If the pork is not done within 10 minutes, cook it a little longer. 

    How Should I Reheat?

    • I suggest reheating in the oven at 350 for 5-10 minutes. 

    Are These Pork Chops Whole30 Friendly?

    • Yes they are! They are also Keto, low carb, and paleo friendly too!

    What Sides Go Best With Whole30 Pork Chops?

    I love eating this dish with so many things:

    • Mini crispy garlic potatoes
    • Whole30 Mashed Potatoes 
    • Air Fried Green Beans
    • Pineapple Pico De Gallo
