Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar until fully combined.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey-soy glaze into the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
Allow the glaze to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them to coat evenly.
Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping the pork chops once halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the sweet glazed pork chops with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
