Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the sliced celery and diced onion, cooking for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well, cooking for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to create a smooth mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream, mixing until the sauce is well combined and creamy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce and vegetables over the top.
Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your choice of side dishes such as mashed potatoes or rice.
