Brown Sugar Garlic Pork Chops (Print-Friendly Format)

Juicy pork chops glazed with brown sugar and garlic—quick, sweet, and savory for busy weeknights.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 pork chops, bone-in or boneless, approximately 2.5 cm thick

02 - 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar

03 - 3 cloves garlic, finely minced

04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

06 - 1 teaspoon salt

07 - 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

08 - 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional)

09 - 60 ml chicken broth

# How to Make It:

01 - Pat pork chops dry using paper towels and season evenly on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear pork chops for 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

03 - Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in brown sugar, minced garlic, and chicken broth. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

04 - Return pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the glaze over each chop and simmer for 5–7 minutes, turning halfway, until well coated and cooked through.

05 - Ensure pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 63°C. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Allow the glaze to thicken naturally by simmering without excessive stirring. Verify pork chop doneness with a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
