6.Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden.
7.Brush the glaze generously over the pork chops, then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the pork is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized, about 10 to 12 minutes.
8.Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving warm.
