Ensure that the pork chops are at room temperature before beginning the preparation process.

Preheat a sizeable skillet over a medium-high flame and add two tablespoons of cooking oil.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with the seasoning salt, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Carefully coat each pork chop in the flour mixture, ensuring an even layer while shaking off any superfluous mixture. It's vital to reserve the remaining flour mixture for later use.

Place the pork chops into the preheated skillet. Cook each side for approximately 2-3 minutes or until each side achieves a golden hue. Once accomplished, transfer the pork chops to a separate dish, covering them to retain warmth.

Utilizing the same skillet, fry the diced bacon until it reaches a crispy consistency. Should you choose to use butter, incorporate it now, allowing it to melt completely.

Proceed to add the diced onions to the skillet, sautéing them until they attain a softened texture.

Gradually stir in approximately 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour mixture. Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the mixture achieves a golden coloration and no remnants of white flour are visible. If the mixture appears too dry, consider adding more butter.

Slowly pour in the chicken broth followed by the heavy whipping cream. Stir continuously until the components are fully integrated.

Return the pork chops to the skillet, allowing them to simmer in the sauce. The sauce should thicken, and the pork chops should reach an internal temperature of approximately 145°F. This process should take around 4-5 minutes. Caution is advised against overcooking the pork chops to maintain their tenderness.

Once cooking is completed, the dish is ready for serving.
