Juicy, tender pork chops glazed with a sweet-tangy peach bourbon BBQ sauce, perfect for quick and flavorful weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine diced peaches, bourbon, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic, smoked paprika, and fresh thyme (if using). Blend until smooth or leave slightly chunky if you prefer texture. Set aside. (5 minutes)
  2. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. (2 minutes)
  3. Place your skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Let it get hot but not smoking. (3 minutes)
  4. Add chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Resist moving them around. (8 minutes)
  5. Lower heat to medium and pour the peach bourbon BBQ glaze over the chops. Spoon the glaze over the meat as it simmers, coating evenly. Let it cook for another 5-7 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). (7 minutes)
  6. Remove chops from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. (5 minutes)

Notes

If glaze starts burning, lower heat and add a splash of water or bourbon to loosen it. Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches 145°F for safe consumption. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable. For gluten-free, substitute BBQ sauce with gluten-free version and verify bourbon label. Boneless chops cook faster; adjust time accordingly.
