Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
- 2 small shallots
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup bourbon
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and are golden brown.
Add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Carefully pour the bourbon into the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to reduce slightly and cook off the alcohol.
Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and thyme leaves. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the pork chops cook in the sauce for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve the pork chops with the creamy mushroom bourbon sauce spooned over the top.
