directions

1. Saute the mushrooms, garlic and onions in a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute until the mushrooms are browned; about 15 minutes.

3. Add the stock and bourbon. Boil the mixture until it is reduced by two-thirds.
4. Add the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce thickens; several minutes.

7. Add flour to a small bowl. To another small bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
8. Dip the pork chops into the flour and coat evenly.
9. Next dip the chop into the egg mixture then into the breadcrumbs, coating evenly.
10. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 4 minutes per side or until browned. Flip the chops over again, cover and lower the heat and cook for another 5 minutes.
11. Bring the sauce to a simmer and add the chopped basil to the skillet. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
12. Serve the sauce drizzled over the pork chops.

Good recipe! I liked the white wine/bourbon combination. The sauce tasted a bit sharp so I added a half cup of sour cream just before serving.
