My grandmother cooked these chops wonderfully! They’re still my husband’s favorite!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, molasses, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

3. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.

4. Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear on each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

5. Pour the glaze mixture over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated.

6. Add the chicken broth to the skillet, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.

8. Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.

For a different flavor profile, try adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the glaze for a tangy kick. You can also experiment with different sweeteners, such as honey or maple syrup, for a unique twist on the traditional glaze. If you prefer a smokier flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the glaze mixture. Additionally, this recipe can be adapted for the grill by marinating the pork chops in the glaze for a few hours before grilling them over medium heat.
