Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
- Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and thyme. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add olive oil if needed, then add the pork chops. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the chops and set aside.
- In the skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, along with the crispy bacon. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
