Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 4 rings pineapple rings (packed in juice, not syrup)
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice (from the canned pineapple)
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork chops lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, pour in the pineapple juice mixture and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook for 2 minutes to slightly thicken.
Step 5
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over the chops, cover, and let cook for 10 minutes, flipping the chops once halfway through.
Step 6
While the pork cooks, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir it into the sauce in the skillet to thicken it further, if desired.
Step 7
Add the pineapple rings to the skillet during the last 5 minutes of cooking to heat them through and absorb some of the sauce.
Step 8
Once the pork chops are fully cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), remove them from the skillet and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the pork chops topped with a pineapple ring and drizzled with the thickened Hawaiian sauce. Pair with steamed rice and a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
