Pat the pork chop dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Preheat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the pork chop in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Remove the pork chop and let it rest covered loosely with foil.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the finely chopped shallot and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they soften and release their moisture, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the light cream, stirring continuously, and let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes until it slightly thickens.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the green beans with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil, then spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the green beans in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Return the pork chop to the skillet to briefly warm it in the sauce if desired, or serve it plated with the mushroom sauce spooned over the top.
Plate the pork chop with a generous serving of creamy mushroom sauce and a side of roasted green beans. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
