Follow these simple steps to create your 30 Minute Brown Sugar Pork Chops:

1. Prepare the Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

2. Season the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. This helps to ensure they sear nicely. Rub the seasoning mixture over both sides of each pork chop, ensuring they are well coated.

3. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

4. Cook the Pork Chops: Add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned.

5. Add Sauce: Pour the remaining brown sugar mixture over the pork chops in the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chops are cooked through (145°F internal temperature).

6. Rest the Meat: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.

7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for added flavor and color.

By following these steps, you’ll achieve delicious and beautifully caramelized pork chops that are bound to become a favorite dish in your recipe rotation.
