Pork Loin Chops, With Mushroom Gravy, and Green Beans

I threw this dinner together one night with items that I had on hand. It turned out to be a lovely dinner that was appreciated by all. Herbes De Provence is a wonderful spice that can liven up chicken, salad, potatoes, and veggies. It is a staple in my kitchen, and an important ingredient in this recipe, to really liven up the green beans. Please note that, even though this recipe normally serves two, you could easily throw in four pork loin chops. Please enjoy!
