  • Take away the skillet from the heat, and add butter, brown sugar, cut garlic, and herbs. Combine it all together.
  • Return the pork chops to the skillet and smother them with the sauce on both sides.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and roast the pork chops till cooked through to 145 F for about six to eight minutes, depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
  • Once cooked, take away the pork chops from the skillet and let rest for about five minutes.
  • Spoon the sauce on the pork and serve.
