Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, pour in the bourbon and let it simmer for 1 minute to cook off the alcohol.
Stir in brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and smoked paprika. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon the glaze over them, and let them cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Transfer the pork chops to a serving platter and drizzle with extra glaze.
