Pat the pork loin chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 8-10 minutes, flipping the chops halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the chops from the skillet and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. The glaze will further thicken as it cools.
Plate the pork chops and drizzle them with the remaining glaze from the skillet. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
