Prior to grilling, season the pork chops with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Next, in a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Place the pork chops in the frying pan and cook for about 7 to 8 minutes on each side, or until they are sufficiently browned and the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the pork chops from the pan and set them aside.
Next, cook the finely chopped garlic in a skillet for about one minute on medium heat, or until its fragrance is released.
Apply heat for a duration of 2 minutes while vigorously stirring in the soy sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. To enhance the taste, remove any caramelized bits from the pan.
Once the pork chops have been coated with the sauce, place them back in the pan and simmer for an additional minute, or until the sauce has thickened and acquired a sticky consistency.
Prior to serving, adorn the pork chops with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley.
