# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1.5 inches thick)
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 6-8 cloves garlic, minced

→ Seasonings & Spices

04 - Salt
05 - Freshly ground black pepper
06 - 1 teaspoon paprika
07 - 1 tablespoon brown sugar

→ Garnish & Toppings

08 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

→ Optional Extras

09 - 1/2 cup chicken broth
10 - Balsamic vinegar

# Instructions:

01 - Pat the pork chops dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and paprika. Mince the garlic and sprinkle it over the chops.
02 - Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.
03 - Sprinkle brown sugar over the pork chops. Pour in the chicken broth, almost covering the bottom of the pan.
04 - Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven (375°F) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
05 - Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This keeps them juicy!
06 - Increase heat to medium-high and simmer the liquid until slightly thickened. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar for extra zing.

# Notes:

01 - Don't overcrowd the pan when searing!
02 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
03 - Beef broth is a great substitute for chicken broth.
04 - Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
