Healthy Baked Pork Chops With Drunk Peaches - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (4 -5 ounce) center cut boneless pork chops
    salt and pepper
    2 medium peaches, peeled and sliced
    1 shallot, diced
    1/2 ounce whiskey or 1/2 ounce Bourbon
    1 tablespoon reduced fat margarine
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute (of course you can use regular brown sugar, or honey)
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400* F.
    On the stovetop, heat a small pot over medium heat. Add butter and shallot and cook for 2 minutes, until shallot begins to soften. Add peaches, whiskey, lemon juice, thyme, and brown sugar substitute and mix well.
    Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, until it starts to thicken. Salt and pepper to taste.
    Place pork chops in a baking dish, salt and pepper to taste. Top with peach sauce.
    Cover casserole dish, and bake for 25-30 minutes, until chops are cooked through and peach sauce is bubbly.
    NOTE: Depending on how juicy your peaches are, you may want to thicken the sauce with some cornstarch after baking the chops.
