Note
The original text mentioned potatoes, basil, green beans, and instant onion soup mix in the directions but not in the ingredients list. These have been added to the steps as they are essential to the described dish. Ensure you have 1/2 lb potatoes (peeled, cubed), 1 1/2 cups fresh green beans (cut into 1-inch lengths), and 6 envelopes (1/4 oz each) instant onion soup mix on hand.
For a lower-sodium option, use low-sodium onion soup mix or make your own with dried onion flakes, garlic powder, and herbs.
This dish stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to refresh the gravy.
If using a non-oven-safe skillet, transfer the contents to a baking dish after browning the chops and sautéing the vegetables.
