Notes
For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to preserve texture. Make-ahead tip: Season the chops up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate. For a variation, add a pinch of chili flakes for heat. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete paleo meal.
