Season the pork chops on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Set aside.
Peel and slice the yellow potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Rinse with water and pat dry.
Remove the stems from the Swiss chard and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the potatoes. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt. Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet, stirring to coat in the butter and garlic. Pour in the chicken broth and toss in the thyme sprigs. Stir and cook for 4-5 minutes until the Swiss chard is tender and wilted.
Return the pork chops and potatoes to the skillet, placing them on top of the Swiss chard mixture. Cover with a lid and let simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and ensure the pork chops are fully cooked.
Remove the thyme sprigs before serving. Plate the pork chops with a generous portion of Swiss chard and potatoes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
