Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C), ensuring it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the ingredients.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the nonfat sour cream, water, all-purpose flour, salt, dried rubbed sage, and black pepper, mixing until smooth and well blended. This mixture will create a creamy sauce to complement the pork.
-
Season the Pork: Take the center-cut pork chops and sprinkle each side with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. This simple seasoning will enhance the natural flavor of the meat.
-
Sear the Pork Chops: Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the seasoned pork chops to the pan. Sear them for approximately 5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. This step locks in the juices and creates a delicious crust.
-
Remove the Pork: Once the pork chops are golden, remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. This will allow you to prepare the vegetable base for the sauce.
-
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and mushrooms. Sauté the vegetables for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they soften and become fragrant.
-
Deglaze the Pan: Carefully pour the whiskey into the skillet, allowing it to deglaze the pan. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, which will add depth to the sauce. Cook for about 1 minute or until the liquid has reduced slightly and almost evaporated.
-
Combine with the Sauce: Stir the sour cream mixture into the skillet, ensuring that the onions and mushrooms are well coated with the creamy sauce. This mixture will create a rich and flavorful base for the pork.
-
Return the Pork to the Skillet: Place the seared pork chops back into the skillet, spooning the sauce generously over each chop. This will ensure that the meat absorbs all the wonderful flavors while it bakes.
-
Wrap the Skillet: Carefully wrap the handle of the skillet with aluminum foil to prevent it from getting too hot in the oven.
-
Bake: Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil, and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour, allowing the pork to cook slowly and soak up all the flavors from the sauce.
-
Serve: Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Serve the pork chops immediately, spooning about 1/3 cup of the sauce over each chop for an extra touch of flavor.
Yield
This recipe yields 4 servings, with each serving consisting of one pork chop and about 1/3 cup of the delectable sauce.
Enjoy your flavorful One Pan Whiskey Pork Chops with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, for a comforting and satisfying meal. This recipe is perfect for special occasions or a delightful weeknight dinner. Happy cooking!
