Ingredients
  

4 bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)

4 slices of thick-cut bacon, chopped

1 medium onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pork Chops:

    Season the pork chops generously with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and dried thyme on both sides.

      Cook the Bacon:

        In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and let it drain on a paper towel. Leave the bacon fat in the skillet.

          Sear the Pork Chops:

            Increase the heat to medium-high. In the same skillet, add olive oil if necessary. Add the seasoned pork chops and sear for about 5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Transfer the chops to a plate and cover loosely with foil.

              Cook the Aromatics:

                In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

                  Make the Creamy Sauce:

                    Reduce heat to medium and pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, until it thickens slightly.

                      Combine and Heat:

                        Stir in the crispy bacon and return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce. Allow to simmer together for another 3-4 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.

                          Serve:

                            Transfer the pork chops to a serving plate, drizzle the creamy sauce over the top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy your decadent meal!
