Follow these steps to bring this delightful dish to life:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and paprika, ensuring each chop is evenly coated.
3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the pork chops and add the butter to the pan, allowing it to melt and combine with the sugar and garlic.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

A little tip from my kitchen: use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked just right. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in achieving perfectly juicy chops.
