Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix panko breadcrumbs, parsley, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Brush pork chops with 1 tbsp olive oil, then press into breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides.
Place pork chops on baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and internal temp reaches 145°F (63°C).
While pork cooks, boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Add minced garlic, milk, butter, and mash until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add green beans, sauté 5-6 minutes until crisp-tender. Squeeze lemon juice over beans, season with salt and pepper, and toss.
Serve pork chops with a generous scoop of garlic mashed potatoes and green beans on the side.
