Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops

Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops

This is a very simple way to make pork chops that is quite delicious!  The sweet spice glaze gives it a great flavor, almost like teriyaki.  We served it with mashed potatoes the first time but I think it would be better with some rice and stir-fried veggies. 

Ingredients:
4-5 boneless pork chops
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.  Rub the sugar spice mixture on both sides of each pork chop, using all the spice mix.  Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium/high heat.  After the oil is hot, cook the pork chops for about 5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
