Juicy Pineapple Pork Chops (with Sweet Pineapple Glaze)

Method

1. 1

   Season pork chops with salt and pepper and garlic powder. Next heat a large skillet with oil on medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes.

2. 2

   Place the pork chops into the hot large skillet along with the onions and cook on one side for 4-5 minutes until golden. Then push the pork chop to one side of the skillet to make space and flip the pork chops to cook the other side.

3. 3

   In a small bowl whisk together the pineapple juice and cornstarch. Add that to the skillet along with the butter. Slowly simmer until bubbling, stirring the whole time. Add the pineapple chunks into the sauce.

4. 4

   Stir the sauce over the pork chops and coat the pork chops with the sauce. Cook the pork chops in the sauce for about 3-5 minutes until the pork chops reach an internal temp of 145 degrees F.

5. 5

   Finally decrease the heat to medium and add in the honey. Stir through the pineapple sauce and remove from the heat and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve the pork and pineapple sauce with a side of white rice and garnish with some freshly chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. You also could serve this with pineapple slices on the side or add extra pineapple chunks as a garnish to your pork chops.
