This is one of Ree’s favorite fall recipes. Not only does it taste incredible, but pork chops are an economical ingredient, often sold in family packs. They freeze well and can take on many different flavors.
In a food processor, add the pecans, rosemary, garlic and onion powders, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pulse until the pecans are fine, then place in a shallow dish. Add the eggs to a second shallow dish.
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
One at a time, coat the pork chops in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then transfer to the pecan mixture, coating the chops on all sides. Press firmly to make sure the pecan crumbs stick well.
Add to the skillet and cook the pork chops until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a parchment paper lined sheet tray and bake until cooked through (with an internal temperature of 145 degrees F), 15 to 17 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the sauce by adding the onions and thyme to the same skillet the pork chops were cooked in. Cook until the onions have softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the burner off and add the whiskey. Stir and allow it to come to a simmer. Return the heat to medium-high and add the chicken stock, cream, mustard and salt and pepper to taste. Stir and bring to a simmer. Allow to reduce and thicken slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove the pork chops from the oven, then transfer to a platter and spoon the sauce over the chops. Garnish with the parsley and serve with your favorite sides.
