Creating these 30 Minute Brown Sugar Pork Chops is a breeze if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prep the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

2. Mix the Brown Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar with the seasoned pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.

3. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the butter once the oil is hot.

4. Sear the Pork Chops: Carefully place the seasoned pork chops into the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they develop a beautiful caramelized glaze. Use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

5. Baste for Flavor: As the chops cook, spoon some of the melted butter and drippings over the top to enhance the flavor and keep them juicy.

6. Rest the Pork Chops: Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender meat.

7. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious brown sugar pork chops while they’re hot!

Following these straightforward steps will lead you to a delectable meal that’s sure to impress.
