Ingredients

1. 4 (2-inch-thick) bone-in pork chops
2. 1/3 cup bourbon
3. 3 cloves garlic, minced
4. 3 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
5. 3 tablespoons soy sauce
6. 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard

9. 1 cup chicken broth
10. 2 tablespoons butter
11. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Place pork chops, bourbon, garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, and mustard in a resealable plastic bag. Seal bag; refrigerate at least 8 hours.
