Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper. Allow them to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Mix the mustard or prepared horseradish with honey in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the skillet and stir until combined.
Pour in the chicken broth or stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture reduce by half, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with the pan sauce drizzled over the pork chops.
