Ingredients 
For the Pork Chops:
4 bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
For the Sauce:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Fresh thyme sprigs (for garnish)
Directions 
Prepare the pork chops:
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Sear the pork chops:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Make the mushroom sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add mushrooms and cook until softened and browned, about 5 minutes.
Create the creamy sauce:
Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Combine:
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the pork chops are fully cooked and tender.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and serve warm with mashed potatoes or rice.
