Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the pork chops on both sides with paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the dry sherry and chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over the top, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
