Step 1
Start sweet potatoes in a pot of cold salted water, bring to boil.
Step 2
Pat pork chops dry, coat both sides generously with lemon pepper seasoning.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear pork chops 2 minutes per side without moving — edges should turn golden.
Step 5
Add butter to the skillet, tilt to coat chops, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
While potatoes finish (10 min more), sauté green beans with almonds in another skillet, 5 minutes, then serve everything hot.
