Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 thick cut bone-in pork chops
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Pat the pork chops dry using paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper, and optionally, a little garlic or onion powder.
  3. Add olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat and swirl to coat the bottom.
  4. Add the seasoned pork chops to the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Cover loosely with foil while you make the glaze.
  5. In the same skillet you fried the pork chops in, melt the butter over medium heat and use spatula to scrape up the pork chop bits. Add the minced garlic, brown sugar, and parsley and cook until melted and bubbly, about 1 minute.
  6. Pour the brown sugar sauce over the seared pork chops. Bake the glazed pork chops in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
  7. Remove pork chops from the oven and rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
