Bacon Wrapped Pork Chops
Bacon wrapped pork chops are juicy and tender with a slightly sweet and smoky flavor.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops ¾-inch thick
- ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 thin slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons low carb barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and add the bacon. Cook for 8 minutes or until some of the fat has been rendered out. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Discard the parchment paper (you can add a new piece for easy cleanup if desired).
- Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- When bacon is cool enough to handle, wrap two slices around each chop. Secure them with toothpicks if needed. Place the chops seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with barbecue sauce.
- Bake the pork chops uncovered for 15 minutes.
- Turn the oven to broil and broil the chops for 1-2 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the pork reaches 140°F.
- Transfer the chops to a plate and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days and in the freezer for 1 month.
