Lately I’ve been pretty obsessed with my crock pot. It’s just so easy and I have yet to make a bad recipe in it. Well, I was going to make a standard baked pork chops recipe I’ve made before, but on a whim I decided to try cooking them in the crock pot. I had no expectations for the recipe. But, oh man, I should have.

When I pulled these out of the crock pot and sat down to dinner I wondered if they were ready. I barely touched it with my fork and it just fell apart. In the most amazing way. These are so wonderfully tender and moist.

I’m not always a big fan of pork chops because a lot of the time they end up a bit on the dry side. Not a problem with these. With less than 10 minutes of prep you can make the best pork chops you’ve ever tasted.

So, how do you make them you ask?

In order to get the best chops, you have to cook for 7 or 8 hours. I tried making these with only 6 hours and they weren’t the same. The long slow cooking is what makes them so juicy. The smell may be so amazing that you are tempted to eat them early, but resist the temptation! You will be happy you did.

I love that this is such a versatile and allergen friendly recipe. They’re already paleo friendly and gluten free. If you replace the ghee with olive oil, they would be completely dairy free as well.

The apples and onions are a perfect compliment to the pork. They bring out the wonderful flavors and textures. Who needs peanut butter and jelly when you can have pork chops and apples?

I’m a believer that most of the best recipes are simple. And these fit the mark.

So go home and make these flavorful and juice pork chops and let me know how it turns out for you!

Update: This is a revisit of my old post on Paleo Coconut Curry Chicken Tenders. I’ve updated the pictures and the recipe with the changes I’ve made over time. 

I’ve been gluten free for a few years now, and in some of my gluten free cooking I’ve also experimented with paleo recipes. I think they’re a lot of fun and I’m a huge fan of almond flour and coconut oil, which are in basically every paleo recipe.

So, in experimenting with paleo recipes, I came across this incredible recipe for paleo coconut chicken on pinterest, and added a few tweaks. The original recipe is from Beezy Body Fitness.

It is so fast and easy. The best recipes yield delicious flavor without a crazy amount of work, and this is one of them. These basically taste like chicken tenders with a hint of coconut and curry (or a lot of curry if you are like me).

Put the flour and seasoning in one bowl, eggs in another, and shredded unsweetened coconut in a third bowl. Dip chicken strips in egg, then flour, then coconut.

Trust me- you are going to want to make these all the time. So easy and delicious they will make you wonder why coconut and chicken aren’t always together.

They are the perfect main dish for a night when you don’t have too much time. The prep takes less than 10 minutes and they only take about 15 minutes to cook. Fast and easy, just how I like my cooking.

I like to eat these with mustard, but I bet they would go great with different kinds of sauces. Let me know how the recipe goes for you and any dipping sauces you use! 

Yum! The perfect healthier alternative to chicken tenders. Everyone loves chicken tenders, so you gotta indulge somehow.
