Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Pour in the gluten-free chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let the broth simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, and thyme. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the sauce to thicken it to your desired consistency.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the creamy herb sauce over them. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired and serve the pork chops hot with your favorite gluten-free side dish.
