Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces shallots
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup whiskey
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
When the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add the butter, and allow it to melt.
Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Then, stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by carefully pouring in the whiskey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
Let the whiskey simmer for 1-2 minutes to cook off the alcohol. Then add the chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and honey. Stir until combined.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and return the pork chops to the skillet.
Spoon the sauce over the pork chops and let them cook in the sauce for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with your choice of side dishes.
