Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, and mix well.
Sprinkle the blend on top of the pork chops, on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a pan. Place the pork chops in the pan and cook until browned, which should only take a few minutes. Make sure that both sides are equally browned.
In another mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and vinegar. Whisk well.
Pour the sauce over the pork chops.
Let your dish simmer in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
Transfer the pork chops to a baking sheet, in a single layer.
Bake for half an hour.
