Pineapple Brown Sugar Glazed Baked Pork Chops Recipes

BROWN SUGAR-PINEAPPLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine chipotle powder, garlic powder, cinnamon, and onion powder in a small bowl.
• Pat pineapple rings dry.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large, nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pineapple rings and red onion; sprinkle with 3 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice and brown sugar. Cook until pineapple is lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pineapple-onion mixture to a plate.
• Pat pork chops dry and lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in the same saucepan over medium-high heat; swirl to coat pan. Add chops; cook until bottom is browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and sprinkle the chipotle mixture on top. Cook until other side is browned, about 3 minutes. Continue flipping and cooking until no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Transfer chops onto a plate and top with the pineapple-onion mixture. Sprinkle goat cheese on top.

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.
