Cranberry-Apricot Stuffed Pork Chop With Broccolini

• 1/2 cup dried apricots
• 1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons molasses, divided
• 4 (1-inch-thick) boneless pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 to 8 ounces broccolini or baby broccoli
• 3/4 cup chicken stock or chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons bourbon
• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• Garnish: lemon zest

1. Preheat oven to 425u0b0. Place first 4 ingredients and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor; process until finely chopped. Add 1 teaspoon molasses, and pulse until combined.
2. Cut a horizontal slit through the thickest portion of each pork chop to form a pocket. Stuff evenly with cranberry mixture. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops 2 minutes on each side. Toss broccolini in remaining 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place broccolini around pork in skillet. Bake 9 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion of pork registers 155u0b0.
4. Transfer pork and broccolini to a serving plate; cover and keep warm. Add stock, bourbon, and remaining 1 teaspoon molasses to skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook 2 minutes or until reduced by half, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in cream; cook 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Serve sauce over pork chops. Garnish broccolini, if desired.
