Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
Sauté the chopped shallots and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become lightly browned.
Pour in the white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the chicken stock and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then return the pork chops to the skillet.
Cook the pork chops in the sauce for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Pork Chops Ardennaise hot with mashed potatoes, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
