PINEAPPLE PORK CHOPS



Pineapple Pork Chops image

Pineapple pork chops are a breeze to make and unbelievably delicious. The seasoned pork chops are first seared then cooked in a simple sauce made of pineapples, honey, soy sauce, and garlic. The pineapples become caramelized and the chops are super tender.

4 boneless pork chops
1 teaspoon EACH: garlic powder and onion powder
½ teaspoon EACH: salt and pepper
1 tablespoon cooking oil
14 ounce can of unsweetened pineapple tidbits (juice and fruit)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free or coco aminos, as needed)
3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
Minced cilantro (to serve)

Steps:

  • Season the pork chops on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Continue to cook the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit and the pineapple sauce has reduced and thickened a little, about 10 minutes. If the pineapple sauce is getting too thick, add a splash of water.

A very easy and delicious way to cook pork chops with a sweet, but not too sweet, sauce. I recommend serving the pork chops with white rice since the sauce is also excellent on the rice.
