Browned Pork Chops With Bacon And Bourbon-Molasses Glaze

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line small rimmed baking sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray.

Whisk molasses, bourbon and mustard in small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; boil 8 to 10 minutes or until reduced to 1/2 cup.

While the sauce is reducing, cook bacon in large skillet over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes or until browned and crisp, turning once. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble.

Pat pork chops dry; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat drippings in skillet over medi­um-high heat until hot. Cook pork 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown, turning once; place on baking sheet. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the molasses mixture over each chop.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until pork is pale pink in center. Drizzle with remaining glaze; top with bacon.
