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.
Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their juices and become tender.
Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and pour in the chicken broth. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, reducing slightly to create a flavorful sauce.
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet and spoon the mushroom sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Top the pork chops with the diced fresh tomatoes and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
