Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to ensure a smooth consistency. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 2 minutes until the sauce is rich and creamy.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom sauce. Spoon some sauce over the top of each chop and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the pork chops simmer in the sauce for 8-10 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145Β°F (63Β°C).
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
