Always raising the bar, this week, our chefs amped up pork chop flavors big time! Tender chops are coated in brown sugar bourbon seasoning (which is all kinds of savory-sweet), then cooked and topped with a buttery apple pan sauce. Crispy roasted broccoli and scallion-flecked mashed potatoes pair perfectly with the main event. Winner, winner, pork chop dinner!

• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Place in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. • Reserve 1⁄2 cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot. • Keep covered off heat until ready to mash in step 5.
• While potatoes cook, pat pork* dry with paper towels. Season all over with Brown Sugar Bourbon Seasoning. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. TIP: If the pork begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium. • Turn off heat; transfer pork to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• While pork cooks, cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on middle rack until lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. • Meanwhile, halve, core, and dice apple into 1⁄4-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Add apple and scallion whites; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrate, 1⁄2 cup water (3⁄4 cup for 4), and 1⁄2 tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4). Cook until sauce has thickened and apple is tender, 5-7 minutes. • In the last 2 minutes, return pork to pan until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat.
• Mash potatoes until mostly smooth. • Stir in scallion greens, sour cream, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and a splash of reserved potato cooking liquid. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If needed, add more potato cooking liquid a splash at a time until potatoes are smooth and creamy.
• Divide pork, mashed potatoes, and broccoli between plates. Top pork with apple pan sauce and serve.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
