In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour mixture, coating evenly and shaking off excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
In the same skillet, whisk together the Coca Cola, ketchup, brown sugar, and soy sauce to make the glaze.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the glaze over them.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chops halfway through and basting them with the sauce.
Once the pork chops are fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C) and tender, remove them from the skillet and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
Simmer the glaze in the skillet for a couple of minutes if needed to thicken it, stirring occasionally.
Serve the pork chops drizzled with the Coca Cola glaze. Pair with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or rice as desired.
