Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and ground thyme to create the marinade.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil.
Sear the pork chops on both sides for 2-3 minutes until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Pour the brown sugar garlic marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
