Season pork chops generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.

Let seasoned pork chops rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking.

Heat vegetable oil and butter in large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and caramelized.

Remove seared pork chops from skillet and set aside on plate.

Reduce heat to medium and add sliced onions to the same skillet.

Cook onions for 5-6 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.

Add minced garlic, thyme, and bay leaf, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Sprinkle flour over onion mixture and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Gradually whisk in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from bottom.

Add white wine and bring mixture to a gentle simmer.

Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.

Season sauce with sage, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

Return pork chops to skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce.

Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until pork reaches internal temperature of 145°F.

Remove bay leaf and stir in cold butter for extra richness.

Add lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Garnish with fresh parsley, green onions, and chives before serving.

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow sauce to thicken slightly.

Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up sauce.
