If you’re looking for a delicious and fun way to make pork chops, I’ve got the recipe for you! Growing up, savory dishes with a touch of sweetness were my favorite, so you can bet these pineapple pork chops take me straight back to my childhood. This is a recipe that the whole family loves, and I think your family will love it, too. Let me show you how to make them!
I’ve got a recipe that everyone loves—kids, adults, and inner children included. These pineapple pork chops hit that irresistible sweet-savory balance, and they’re perfect for busy weeknights since there’s only about 10 minutes of prep and dinner is on the table in under 30 minutes.
Make it your own: Try dicing the pork chops into pineapple pork chop bites, or swap in fresh pineapple and add ½ cup pineapple juice for extra brightness. You can also turn this into a one-pan meal by sautéing bell peppers, broccoli, and red onion along with the pineapple.
Serving ideas
This is a dinner that almost demands being served with rice. Both basmati rice or cauliflower rice make great choices. And here are a few veggie side dishes that go well with this recipe:
- Sautéed Bok Choy with Ginger and Garlic
- Garlic Butter Sugar Snap Peas Recipe
- Best Roasted Broccoli
- Sautéed Green Beans with Garlic
- Pineapple Fried Rice
How to store leftovers
Once your pineapple pork chops cool to room temperature, transfer them to an airtight container. Pop them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months; thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating.
