Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 6 slices Canned pineapple slices
- 0.5 cup Pineapple juice (from the canned pineapple)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create the glaze. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place the pineapple slices. Cook the pineapple for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly caramelized. Remove and set aside.
Step 5
Pour the pineapple honey glaze into the skillet. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the glaze to thicken it. Let the glaze simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the thickened glaze over them. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Turn off the heat and place the caramelized pineapple slices on top of each pork chop.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Pineapple Honey Pork Chops!
