Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Remove the pork chops from the packaging and pat them dry. Lightly oil them on all sides.
In a bowl, combine all of the spices to make the blackening seasoning and mix well.
Evenly coat each pork chop on all sides and press down so the seasoning adheres. Repeat on the additional pork chops until they are all thoroughly seasoned.
Preheat a large cast iron skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
Add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil to the pan so it is coated. Place each pork chops down into the pan and press it over the top for a nice even sear.
Sear the first side for 3 minutes or when it easily comes up and releases from the pan. Flip each pork chop over, and then remove the pan from the heat.
Immediately transfer the hot skillet into the preheated oven to finish cooking, about 8-10 additional minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 140-145 F.
Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the pork chops to another plate to rest (so they do not continue to overcook in the skillet). Rest them 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve with the Cajun cream sauce if desired and pair with your favorite sides.
