Directions:
- If using bacon: Fry bacon in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate, leaving fat in saucepan (you should have 2 tablespoons bacon fat; if not supplement with vegetable oil).
- Using 2 tablespoons of bacon fat or vegetable oil. Reduce heat to medium low and gradually whisk flour into fat until smooth. Cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture is light brown, about the color of peanut butter, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk chicken broth in slow, steady stream; increase heat to medium-high and bring to boil, stirring occasionally; cover and set aside off heat.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until smoking, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, dry pork chops with paper towels and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Brown chops in single layer until deep golden on first side, about 3 minutes. Flip chops and cook until browned on second side, about 3 minutes longer.
- Transfer chops to large plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of oil, onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and water to now empty skillet. Using wooden spoon, scrape browned bits on pan bottom and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are softened and browned around the edges, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds longer.
- Return the chops to skillet in single layer covering chops with onions. Pour warm sauce and any juices collected from pork; add bay leaves. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until pork is tender and paring knife inserted into chops meets very little resistance, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer chops to warmed serving platter and tent with foil. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer sauce rapidly, stirring frequently, until thickened to gravy-like consistency, about 5 minutes.
- Discard bay leaves, stir in parsley and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Cover chops with sauce, sprinkle with reserved bacon, and served immediately.
