In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup Dijon mustard, ¼ cup honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, ½ teaspoon paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined, forming a smooth and glossy sauce. Set this delicious honey mustard glaze aside as you get ready to season the pork chops.

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear. Generously season both sides with salt and black pepper, ensuring the flavors permeate the meat.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, carefully add the seasoned pork chops, and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they achieve a rich golden-brown color.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the honey mustard sauce over the seared pork chops. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, ensuring the glaze thickens and the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Once cooked, carefully remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for about 3 minutes on a plate. Serve the chops drizzled with the remaining glaze.
