## **How to Make Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops**
### **Step 1: Season the Pork Chops**
In a small bowl, mix together **garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper**. Rub this seasoning blend onto both sides of the pork chops.
### **Step 2: Sear the Pork Chops**
Heat **olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter** in a large skillet over **medium-high heat**. Sear the pork chops for about **3-4 minutes per side**, until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove from the pan and set aside.
