Broiled Parmesan Pork Chops & Broccoli

30 minutes, gluten free, keto friendly, super easy, and full of flavor — yup, this Broiled Parmesan Pork Chops & Broccoli sheet pan dinner recipe has it all!

For our very last recipe of 2019 (how’d that happen, already?!), how about a super simple, keto friendly, gluten free, 30 minute sheet pan dinner? Sounds good to me… OK, it was good, you got me. But alas, this Broiled Parmesan Pork Chops & Broccoli is already but a distant memory. Nothing good lasts long around here, not with two teenage boys in the house.

I love easy one pan meals about as much as the kids loved these pork chops, so a definite win-win situation over here. It’s so quick & easy to broil up thin cut pork chops, that I thought I’d see how the broccoli turned out that way as well — figuring that if it’s good roasted, it would probably be tasty broiled, as well! Yup. 😉

Patting dry before broiling also helps keep the broccoli from getting mushy, which is especially important with the relatively short cooking time here. If you like your broccoli a little more well done, you can just pop it back in the oven for a couple of minutes after removing the finished pork chops from the pan.

Broiled Parmesan Pork Chops & Broccoli

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2-1 tsp seasoned salt (see Note)
1 lb broccoli crowns, chopped
1.5 lbs thin sliced pork chops
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan

Directions

Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then spray with cooking spray. Wash broccoli, pat dry with a paper towel, and chop, placing pieces in a large bowl. Preheat the broiler to high.

Combine the olive oil and seasonings.

Drizzle half of the olive oil mixture over the broccoli, and toss to coat. Arrange broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving room for the chops.

Place the pork chops in the bowl you just used for the broccoli. Drizzle with the other half of the olive oil mixture, and toss to coat. Add chops to the baking sheet.

Broil on high for five minutes.

Flip the pork chops and stir the broccoli. Sprinkle shredded Parmesan over everything.

Broil on high for another 5-6 minutes, or until chops are cooked through to 145 degrees.

Let sit for a few minutes, then serve.

Note: I used 1 tsp of seasoned salt and thought this recipe was very good yet slightly salty; however, the boys loved it as is and told me not to reduce the salt the next time. Adjust to your own tastes!

Seven ingredients, all of the flavor

You can’t get much easier than that: This easy pork chops recipe is the perfect 30 minute weeknight dinner for a winter’s day when you don’t mind running the broiler for a bit. (But really, the entire meal is in the oven less than 15 minutes, so not too bad.)

Serve your Parmesan pork chops with the broiled broccoli for an easy built-in side dish. So much flavor, so few ingredients, so much winning!
