Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake the pork chops for 10-15 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chops rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious brown sugar pork chops!
