Description

These quick and easy pineapple pork chops drenched in a sauce made with brown sugar and pineapple juice are deliciously sweet, but not overly so.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless pork chops
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

Directions

1 Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear pork chops in the hot skillet for 5 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate.
2 Add broth, soy sauce, and vinegar to the skillet; bring to a boil. Return chops to the skillet, reduce the heat, and simmer until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Turn off the heat; transfer chops to a plate and keep warm. Leave cooking liquid in the skillet.
3 Stir pineapple juice, brown sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl.
4 Pour pineapple juice mixture into the skillet and mix with cooking liquid. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce comes to a boil and thickens slightly. Add pineapple chunks and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve sauce with chops.
