Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the fresh raspberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, and thyme to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, breaking up the raspberries with the back of a spoon, until the sauce reduces slightly and thickens.
Stir in the unsalted butter to give the sauce a silky finish. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the raspberry sauce over the top. Let them warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the pork chops immediately, drizzled with additional raspberry sauce if desired, alongside your favorite sides.
