1. Prepare the Pork Chops and Potatoes:
- Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the halved or quartered potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown and are almost tender.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
3. Make the Honey Mustard Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and dried thyme.
- Pour this mixture over the potatoes and onions in the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a simmer.
4. Add the Pork Chops:
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the potatoes and sauce. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are heated through and the potatoes are tender.
5. Garnish and Serve:
- Once everything is cooked through, check the seasoning and adjust with more salt and pepper if necessary.
- Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
