Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Set them aside to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Set this glaze mixture aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour the glaze mixture over the pork chops, ensuring they are well-coated.
Cook the pork chops in the glaze for an additional 5-7 minutes, flipping them occasionally and spooning the glaze over the top. The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. Spoon any remaining glaze over the top.
Serve the glazed pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
