Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless pork chops(about 4-6 thin-cut chops)
  • 1 lb green beans(trimmed)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil(divided)
  • 1 cup dijon mustard
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt(or to taste)
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper(or to taste)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron works great) over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    Add the green beans to the same skillet (no need to clean), drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

  5. 5

    Roast the green beans in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until tender-crisp. While green beans are roasting, gently warm the honey mustard sauce in a small saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Once green beans are done, remove the skillet from the oven. Return the seared pork chops to the skillet with the green beans. Drizzle or spoon the warm honey mustard sauce generously over the pork chops.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately, ensuring each pork chop is nicely coated in the delicious sauce and paired with the roasted green beans.

Chef's Tips

  • For extra flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in a quarter of the honey mustard sauce for at least 30 minutes before searing.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the pork chops; cook in batches if necessary to ensure a good sear.
  • Adjust the sweetness or tang of the honey mustard sauce to your liking by adding more honey or apple cider vinegar.
