Ingredients

1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth

In a large skillet, saute mushrooms and onion in 1 tablespoon oil and butter until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat. Add wine and bourbon; cook over medium heat until liquid is evaporated. Add chicken broth and cream; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally; keep warm.

Did not do the basil or onion used onion powder. My husband hates onions. Very good and I suck at cooking. Will make again.

I had some mushrooms to be used ASAP and a couple of pork chops thawed out in the fridge and found this recipe that was perfect for the two of us. The sauce was fantastic and the chops so nice and crispy on the outside and the meat was so tender. I would highly recommend this to anyone.... Fantastic...very tasty.

Excellent recipe! The Panko crumbs make the pork chops very crispy and delicious. I prefer a bone-in chop instead of boneless since I think they are more tender and flavorful. But the star is the bourbon mushroom sauce! I served with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans and will be making this one again. I did increase the chicken stock to 3/4 cup and the whipping cream to almost a half cup to make more sauce. You can always add a little thickener. Delicious!

This was really good and company worthy. I made this for my family Sunday dinner. I tripled the recipe to feed everyone. The mushroom gravy was fantastic. I did add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of the chicken broth to make a thicker gravy. I also added sage, white pepper, and rosemary to the gravy. I mixed the flour with the Panko crumbs and dredge the pork chops in the flour/panko, then the egg mix (with milk instead of water) then panko mix again. I did add a little sage, rosemary, and seasoning salt to the flour mix. The breeding turned out so crispy and perfect. Served with mashed potatoes, roasted broccoli, and applesauce. So good! I will be making this again.
