Pat pork chops dry with paper towels, then sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops and brown well, about 5 minutes per side. Stir in honey, apricots, and garlic; cover and simmer until pork is tender, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer, inserted into the center, should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Serve chops topped with apricots and pan juices. Garnish with parsley.
