Keto Pork Scallopini

Elevate your dinner rotation with this elegant yet effortless Keto Pork Scallopini, a dish that delivers restaurant-quality flavor right at home. Tender, thin-cut pork chops are seared to a golden finish, then bathed in a tangy pan sauce enriched with butter, briny capers, and a zesty splash of lemon juice. Juicy cherry tomatoes soften in the simmering broth, adding a burst of freshness and natural sweetness, while a sprinkling of chopped parsley adds a vibrant finish and aromatic lift.

Looking for variety? Swap in chicken cutlets instead of pork for an equally delicious twist—it works beautifully with the same lemon-caper sauce. You can also pack in extra nutrition by tossing in sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or asparagus alongside the tomatoes for a colorful, veggie-rich plate. Ready in just 25 minutes, this Pork (or Chicken) Scallopini is not only a quick weeknight star but also makes an impressive dinner when entertaining.

Table of Contents

The Preparation

24 ounce boneless pork chops, thinly cut
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon capers
1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoon lemon juice
12 ounce cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

The Execution

1. Gather and prep all of your ingredients.

2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper on both sides. Once pan is hot, add pork and cook until browned on both sides, about 90 seconds per side. Remove from the pan and cover with foil to keep warm.

3. Reduce heat to medium and add in the butter, capers, and yellow bell pepper. Cook until bell pepper is softened and capers are sizzling.

4. Add in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Bring to a boil and reduce by half, stirring occasionally.

5. Once sauce has reduced, add in the tomatoes and cook until softened and slightly blistered.

6. Plate the pork and pour the sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
