Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let them sit for about 5 minutes while you prepare the glaze.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet.
Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145Β°F (63Β°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the honey glaze mixture.
Simmer the glaze for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the top, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow the pork chops to heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
If desired, garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme before serving.
Serve the honey glazed pork chops immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
