Step 1
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it foams. Sear pork chops 2 minutes per side without moving—surface should turn golden brown.
Step 3
Pour apple cider around the chops. Add thyme sprigs, then cover with a lid. Simmer 6 minutes until pork reaches 145°F at the thickest point.
Step 4
Remove pork to a warm plate. Stir mustard into the pan liquid, then simmer uncovered for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
Add apple slices and remaining greens to the skillet with the sauce. Stir and cook until greens wilt, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Return pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the greens. Drizzle with the apple-mustard glaze and serve immediately.
