Yield 4 pork chops
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 22 minutes
Total Time 32 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops, about ¾ inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt, see note
  • ½ teaspoon cracked pepper
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 3 tablespoons sugar-free BBQ sauce
  • Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
  2. Pat dry the pork chops. Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle over both sides of the pork chops to coat. 
  3. Wrap each pork chop in 2 slices of bacon, being careful not to overlap the bacon too much so that it cooks evenly and crisps up in the oven.
  4. Arrange the pork chops on the wire rack and bake for 16-18 minutes or until pork reaches 140-145 degrees.
  5. Remove from the oven and brush with the BBQ sauce. 
  6. Turn on the broiler and place the pork chops back in the oven for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye so that the sauce doesn't burn. 
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Notes

 If you’re sensitive to salt or your bacon is very salty, you may want to omit this from the seasonings. 

Nutrition information is calculated based on a BBQ sauce with 1 gram of carbs per 1 tablespoon, such as G. Hughes.

No sugar free bbq sauce on hand? Try mixing 1/4 cup sugar free ketchup with 3 tablespoons of bottled Italian salad dressing to make a sweet, tangy sauce that works great in place of BBQ.
