In a small bowl, whisk together the molasses, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
In another small bowl, prepare the horseradish sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, honey, and chopped chives. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray or a paper towel dipped in oil.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium. Adjust cooking time if using thicker chops.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled pork chops warm, accompanied by the chilled horseradish sauce on the side. Enjoy!
