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
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup whiskey
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 sprig fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add the pork chops. Sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the pan and set them aside on a plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, then add the sliced onion. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Carefully pour in the whiskey and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the whiskey simmer for about 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the pork chops cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Once the pork chops are cooked through, remove them from the pan and set aside again on a clean plate.

Step 10

Stir the heavy cream into the skillet, allowing the sauce to thicken for 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Return the pork chops to the pan, spooning the sauce over them, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 12

Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme (optional) and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
