Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (canned, drained)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Dredge the pork chops in flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. They do not need to be cooked through.
Step 5
Place the seared pork chops in the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple chunks, red and green bell peppers, white vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar. Stir and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then gradually add it to the saucepan. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Pour the sweet and sour sauce evenly over the pork chops in the baking dish.
Step 9
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 10
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the edges to caramelize slightly.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the pork chops hot with extra sauce spooned over the top or alongside steamed rice.
