In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork chops and let them marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and pour in chicken stock. Scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then stir in the heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard (optional for an extra kick). Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions, typically by boiling in salted water until they float. Drain the gnocchi and set aside.
In a separate large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the gnocchi and cook until lightly golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in fresh thyme leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.
Return the pork chops to the skillet with the mustard cream sauce. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops and simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the chops are fully cooked and the sauce is thickened.
Serve the mustard pork chops over a bed of crispy golden gnocchi. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
Enjoy your flavorful Mustard Pork Chops with Gnocchi!
