Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add chopped mushrooms, carrots, and celery; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in bread crumbs, parsley, thyme, and chicken broth; mix well.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

Cut a pocket into each pork chop without cutting all the way through.

Stuff each pork chop with the filling mixture, pressing gently to secure.

Heat more olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear each stuffed pork chop for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

Transfer the pork chops to a baking dish and cover with foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
