Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops and brown well, about 4 minutes per side.

Remove chops from skillet. Discard oil. Add stock, bourbon and maple syrup to skillet. Bring to boil over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits.

Return chops to skillet. Reduce heat, cover tightly and simmer until cooked through, turning once, about 15 minutes.
