How to make your own thick keto pork chops:

Instead of buying thin boneless pork chops that are already cut, I like to cut my own and I cut them at least 1.5 inches thick. I do this for a couple of reasons. 1. They are less likely to over cook and dry out and I want juicy pork chops and 2. thick pork chops are just better and easier to cook. I buy a 3 pound pork loin and I cut it into 6 even chops by cutting it in half, then each half is cut into thirds. If you cannot find a 3 pound pork loin (this is on the smaller side) you can buy a larger one and freeze the extra for another meal.
