Season and Sear the Pork Chops
Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp ~145°F). Transfer to a plate and cover loosely.
Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add Cream and Seasonings
Stir in chicken broth, cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Simmer the sauce for 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened. If desired, stir in Parmesan cheese for extra richness.
Finish the Dish
Return the pork chops and any juices to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over them and simmer for 1–2 minutes more to heat through.
Serve
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, pasta, or roasted veggies.
