Brown Sugar Pineapple Pork Chops Recipes

BROWN SUGAR BAKED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
• In a large measuring cup or bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper.
• Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat about 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes. Swirl to coat the pan. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 more minute.
• Add chops to the skillet and sear on both sides until brown (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove chops to a plate and set aside.
• Pour off fat from the pan. Add pineapple juice mixture to the pan and simmer over high heat for about 6-10 minutes, or until the glaze is reduced to about 1 cup. I like to use a wooden spoon to scrape up the bits from the bottom of the pan as I occasionally stir, which gives the glaze so much great flavor!
• Add pork chops back to the skillet with the glaze, toss to coat, and place entire skillet in the oven. Bake chops for approximately 6-10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the chops) or until meat is cooked through (reaching an internal temperature of 145 degrees).
• Allow the meat to rest for about 3-5 minutes and then garnish with fresh parsley just before serving.
