Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium, and pour the honey mustard mixture into the skillet. Stir for about 1 minute to combine and allow the flavors to meld.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over each chop, and cover the skillet with a lid.
Let the pork chops cook in the sauce for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Turn the chops halfway through cooking and spoon more sauce over them.
Once cooked, remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving. Serve with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
