Pat the pork chops dry and season generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove the pork chops and set aside. Add garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds.
Pour in chicken broth and stir to loosen any browned bits from the skillet.
Reduce heat and add butter, stirring until the sauce comes together.
Return pork chops to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
