Pan-Fried Pork Chops with Sweet BBQ Sauce
  1. 1

    Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops in a single layer and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, whisk the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and garlic powder together in a bowl; pour over the seared pork chops and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer until the pork chops are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
