Easy Pineapple Pork Chops recipe. Perfectly browned pork chops with an amazing pineapple-Dijon sauce, ready in 30 minutes from scratch. This recipe is a weeknight favorite!
Season the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. Preheat a large skillet. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook the pork chops for about 3 minutes on each side over high heat, or until they are nicely browned. Set aside on a plate. They will not be fully cooked yet, and that's OK.
Add the remaining oil to the same skillet, and add the sliced onions. Turn the heat to medium and saute the onions for about 5-7 minutes, or until they soften and start to turn golden brown.
Add the pineapple jam, white wine, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and thyme to the onions and stir well. Bring to a gentle boil, and reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.
Place the pork chops into the pineapple sauce in the skillet and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 145F-160F. Serve by spooning the pineapple sauce over the pork chops with rice on the side.
Notes
Optional: add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to step 3 for more flavor!
