Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Bourbon
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter has melted and starts to foam.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate, keeping them warm with foil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Carefully add the bourbon to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula. Allow the bourbon to simmer for 1–2 minutes to cook off some of the alcohol.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Whisk everything until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Simmer the sauce for 5–7 minutes, letting it thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, by adding a pinch of salt or more black pepper.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the meat to coat evenly. Allow the chops to heat through for an additional 2–3 minutes.
Transfer the pork chops to serving plates and drizzle with the bourbon mustard sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
