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

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.

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.

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.

Arrange the pork chops on the wire rack and bake for 16-18 minutes or until pork reaches 140-145 degrees.
Remove from the oven and brush with the BBQ sauce.

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.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
