Instructions:

Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil until well combined.
-
Marinate the Pork Chops:
- Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Bake:
- Pour the reserved marinade over the pork chops and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
