These Garlic Brown Sugar Pork Chops are such a delicious blend of flavors, and is sure to be a new family favorite!
These Garlic Brown Sugar Pork Chops are full of flavor and oh so juicy. They come together super fast, which makes it perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. Sure to be a huge hit with your family.
I have never been a huge fan or pork chops in the past. Honestly I just think I have always over cooked my pork chops which left then dry and blah! Making sure you cook them to 140 degrees ensures that they are tender and juicy.
Searing the pork chops in a hot skillet first (I use a cast iron pan), not only gives it that fantastic caramelization, but adds to the savory flavor.
With just a few pantry ingredients dinner will be on the table in 30 minutes. This is sure to be a new family favorite.

Julie says
This recipe looks delicious and quick which is a must in house. Since I was using boneless chops I just pan cooked them and they came out delicious. Thanks for the new recipe.

Christina says
I ran across this recipe while trying to figure out how I wanted to prepare my pork chops, for tonight’s dinner, and struck gold! So flavorful and the red pepper adds a nice spicy kick, though this could be because I don’t measure anything, and evened out some of the sweetness from the brown sugar.
Wendie says
Yay Christina! I’m so glad you loved it. Thanks for the great review 🙂
Rosemary H says
My husband gave me his approval. He loved the sauce and the pork was very tender. The meal was so easy to make and will definitely make it again.
Wendie says
Fantastic Rosemary! I’m so glad you both loved it. And thanks for the great review:)
Krystian Bell says
Can you make this with chicken? We don’t eat pork chops often
Wendie says
I’ve never made it with chicken. You’d definitely have to adjust the cooking time, according to which part your using. 🙂
Marianne Ward says
I just made these pork chops for dinner and they were delicious. I used boneless chops because that’s what I had on hand even though I prefer bone in. I should have brined them because without the bone they tend to dry out pretty fast. I made a few changes or additions to the recipe. I added a little dry mustard with the salt and pepper and about a half cup of good bourbon to the cooking liquid before I baked them. The sauce is to die for. I served them with Japanese yams and Ina Garten’s apple chutney. This recipe is a keeper. Fast , easy and delicious. Thank you.
Wendie says
Yay Marianne! Your addition of bourbon sounds delicious 🙂
Jerry says
I purchased two thick pork chops today. Plan on making your Garlic chop recipe tomorrow. I’m a widower so bear with me. I’ll let you know how they come out.
Wendie says
I hope you love them Jerry 🙂
Cheryl says
I must have overcooked the sauce. It would not whisk. I added red wine vinegar and it smoothed out again.. However, it clumped up like a burnt mass in my cast iron pan while in the oven.. ugh!
Wendie says
Hmmm Sorry to hear it didn’t work for you. The only thing I can think of is maybe it was way to hot, when you first added the brown sugar.
Sabrina says
Can I use boneless pork chops in this recipe?
Wendie says
Yes you can use boneless pork chops but it will cook quicker depending on size. Hope this helps Sabrina 🙂
