BROWN SUGAR-PINEAPPLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine chipotle powder, garlic powder, cinnamon, and onion powder in a small bowl.
• Pat pineapple rings dry.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large, nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pineapple rings and red onion; sprinkle with 3 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice and brown sugar. Cook until pineapple is lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pineapple-onion mixture to a plate.
• Pat pork chops dry and lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in the same saucepan over medium-high heat; swirl to coat pan. Add chops; cook until bottom is browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and sprinkle the chipotle mixture on top. Cook until other side is browned, about 3 minutes. Continue flipping and cooking until no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes more.

PORK CHOPS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND CARAMELIZED ONION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Melt 1 tbsp butter in 1 tsp olive oil in medium sized, oven proof sauce pan over medium/medium high heat.
• Add red onion. Let cook, stirring constantly for 20 minutes.
• While onions cook, mix 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp minced garlic, the 2 tbsp chicken broth and 1 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl.
• Add 2 tbsp of chicken broth to onions at a time, letting sizzle and cook away. Repeat until no broth remains.
• Butterfly pork chops and sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper.
• Spread goat cheese evenly inside each pork chop, leaving room around edges.
• Once onions are brown and caramelized, add a spoonful of onions to top of goat cheese in each pork chop. There will be onions remaining in the pan. Add lemon mixture to pan with onions and simmer, scraping down the sides of the pan.
• Close pork chops and dust with flour. If you are having trouble keeping them together, use toothpicks or mini skewers. However it is better if you can work without, as the escaped goat cheese comes in handy in the sauce later!
• Melt 1 tbsp butter in skillet over medium heat and cook pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side, until seared and brown.
• Put pork chops and any drippings into the pan with the simmering onion/lemon mixture and place in oven.
• Cook for 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness, or until cooked through but still tender.
• Remove pan from oven and place back on medium low heat. Remove pork chops and whisk in heavy cream and let come to a bubble. Add parsley. Spoon over pork chops and enjoy!

EASY CARAMELIZED ONION PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Make a brine by combining the Kosher salt and water in a large bowl. Place the pork chops in the mixture and "brine" for 2 hours.

• Add the pecans and goat cheese to the onions and stir to combine. Refrigerate until mixture is completely cool, about 15 minutes.
