Now, there are many recipes around for spiced pork chops, but most of them involve marinating. I discovered that it really isn’t necessary! So this low carb recipe is even easier – just dunk the pork in the spice mix and get grilling!

Grab a large plastic sealable bag (and preferably place it in a baggy stand – you DO have one of those, don’t you?!?) and add olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, onion powder, ground cumin, garlic paste and salt and pepper. Squish it around to mix everything together.
Add the boneless pork chops and massage the marinade sauce around the meat. I did this while my grill pan was heating up – so the meat was in the spice mix for only about five minutes!
Season the chops with salt and pepper on both sides, and discard the sauce. Cook the chops until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes on each side for chops with an average thickness.
Serve with salad, horseradish coleslaw, or both!

These pork chops were great. Cooked mine in the George Forman grill in about 5 minutes. They were wonderful and easy!
Can this be frozen in seal a meal for future use?
Sorry, I’m not familiar with seal a meal. I wonder if anyone else has tried it? Georgina
Sorry, it’s a Foodsaver. It seals airtight for the freezer. So the question would be does the marinated meat freeze well?
Hi,
How hot should the frying pan be preheated to?
D$
Everyone’s burners (and pans) are a little different, but mine was at a medium-high heat. I hope that helps!
Quick question, was just looking for a low carb recipe for big package of bone in pork chops I bought on sale, any reason why this wouldn’t work on bone in? I was intending to cook in cast iron skillet.
I think a bone-in chop would work just as well!
