Instructions
Creating 30 Minute Brown Sugar Pork Chops is straightforward when you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and measure them out for easy access.
2. Season Pork Chops: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly onto both sides of the pork chops.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook Pork Chops: Add the pork chops to the skillet. Cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
5. Let Rest: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.
6. Glaze: If desired, pour a little bit of water or broth into the skillet to lift any bits of flavor left behind. Scrape the pan before pouring over the chops for added flavor.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, if you wish to add a pop of color.
These steps will ensure that you create these incredible pork chops with ease and confidence. Each bite will be a perfect blend of sweet and savory.
