Season pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add pork chops to the skillet and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture and stir to combine; cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Slowly whisk in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and add thyme, bay leaf, and heavy cream; stir to combine.

Return the pork chops to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Remove pork chops again and set aside; whisk cornstarch with water and add to the gravy to thicken.

Simmer the gravy for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve pork chops with gravy spooned over the top, garnished with parsley.
