Ingredients

1.5 pound pork chops (boneless, thin-cut)
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary (crushed)
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 pound yellow potato (scrubbed, diced 1/2-inch)
12 ounce frozen green beans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the diced yellow potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
While potatoes roast, pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Rub the herb mixture generously onto both sides of the pork chops.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron works well) over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F).
Microwave the frozen green beans according to package directions during the last 5 minutes of potato roasting/pork cooking.
Serve the herb-rubbed pork chops with the speedy roasted potatoes and steamed green beans.

Notes

Ensure pork chops are thin-cut for quickest cooking. Adjust roasting time for potatoes based on dice size and desired crispiness.
