A delightful twist on classic pork chops, featuring a sweet and tangy pineapple glaze that pairs perfectly with the savory meat.
Season the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Let the pork chops sit for a few minutes after seasoning to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Dredge the pork chops in the all-purpose flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Shake off any excess flour to avoid clumping during cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pork chops to achieve a good sear.
Place the pork chops in the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, white vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Taste the glaze and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your preference.
Pour the glaze mixture over the pork chops in the skillet.
Ensure the glaze evenly coats the pork chops for maximum flavor.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork chops simmer for 8-10 minutes until fully cooked.
Check the internal temperature of the pork chops to ensure they reach 145°F (63°C).
If the glaze becomes too thick, add a splash of water to adjust the consistency.
Stir the glaze occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the skillet.
Serve the pork chops hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!
