5. Flip the pork chops and sear the other side for another 4–5 minutes.
6. Transfer the pork chops to a clean plate and set aside.
7. Add the sliced zucchini to the same skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
8. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
9. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, chicken broth, fresh thyme, and red pepper flakes to the skillet.
10. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
11. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetables.
