Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups green beans (trimmed)
• 2 cups baby potatoes (halved)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly onto both sides of the pork chops.

Step 4

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds, making sure it doesn’t burn.

Step 7

Add the chicken broth to the skillet and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan.

Step 8

Add the green beans and halved baby potatoes to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Nestle the seared pork chops back into the skillet among the vegetables.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are tender.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the dish with lemon juice for a bright finish.

Step 12

Serve the pork chops hot, alongside the roasted green beans and baby potatoes.
