Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Stir in the cremini and white button mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and release their juices.
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes to let the alcohol evaporate.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken the ragu slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom ragu. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish and serve immediately. Optionally, pair with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful ragu.
