Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops 4-6 ounces each
2 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
lemon wedges and parsley sprigs for serving optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large oven safe pan over medium high heat.
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the pork chops to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Remove the pork from the pan and place on a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Add the butter to the pan and melt. Add the garlic, brown sugar and rosemary and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Place the pork chops back in the pan and spoon the sauce over the top.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until pork is cooked to 145 degrees F.
Spoon the sauce from the bottom of the pan over the pork chops and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs if desired.

Notes

The most important part of this recipe is to make sure you don't overcook your pork!! I highly recommend using a meat thermometer and removing your pork from the oven as soon as the temperature hits 145 degrees F.
The cook times for this recipe assume you're using boneless pork chops that are about 4-6 ounces in size. My chops were 5 ounces each, and took a total of 14 minutes to cook between the searing and oven baking steps.
Make sure you use an oven safe pan for this dish. If you don't have a pan that is safe to put in the oven, you can transfer the chops and sauce to a baking dish.
