Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork loin chops
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.25 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork loin chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 8-10 minutes, flipping the chops halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

Remove the chops from the skillet and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. The glaze will further thicken as it cools.

Step 7

Plate the pork chops and drizzle them with the remaining glaze from the skillet. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
