Creating the 30 Minute Brown Sugar Pork Chops is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Pork Chops: In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and onion powder. Add the pork chops to the bowl and ensure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare your cooking station.

2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the skillet is hot to achieve a good sear on the pork chops.

3. Add the Pork Chops: Carefully place the marinated pork chops in the skillet, discarding any leftover marinade.

4. Cook for 5-6 Minutes: Sear the chops on one side for about 5-6 minutes until browned and caramelized.

5. Flip and Continue Cooking: Turn the chops over and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

6. Rest the Pork Chops: Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, enhancing tenderness.

7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the cooked pork chops with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and flavor.

8. Enjoy Your Creation: Serve the pork chops alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or even a light salad.
