Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start sweet potatoes in a pot of cold salted water, bring to boil.

  2. Step 2

    Pat pork chops dry, coat both sides generously with lemon pepper seasoning.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Sear pork chops 2 minutes per side without moving — edges should turn golden.

  5. Step 5

    Add butter to the skillet, tilt to coat chops, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

  6. Step 6

    While potatoes finish (10 min more), sauté green beans with almonds in another skillet, 5 minutes, then serve everything hot.
