Season the pork chops on both sides with the salt and black pepper.
Heat half the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more until deeply browned. Transfer the chops to a plate to rest. Done when opaque in the center, 145°F.
In the same skillet, add the remaining oil, apples, and shallots. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the apples are golden and starting to soften.
Stir in the thyme and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly. Return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pan just to warm through.
Toss the mixed greens with the apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Plate the greens and set the pork chop beside them. Spoon the apples, shallots, and pan sauce over the pork.
