If you are looking to try something different for dinner, this recipe for grilled Hawaiian-flavored pork chops is a nice change from the ordinary. These pork chops get a blast of flavor and an extra dose of sweetness from the grilled pineapple.
(Grilling pineapple really brings out the sweetness and adds a whole new layer of flavor.) Both the pork chops and the pineapple slices are marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, onion, garlic, and brown sugar to infuse the sweet and salty flavors into the meat and fruit. This results in grilled pork chops and pineapple slices with a nice depth of flavor.
Hawaiian pineapple pork loin! If you’ve got your pork and some barbecue sauce and pineapple, then you’re pretty much already in business.
The thinly sliced pork chops do not take long to cook. I brown them on both sides then let them simmer in the sauce for 10 minutes. The result is a super juicy and tender pork chop!
I love to serve this dish with rice to soak up all of that extra sauce. I also use the leftovers for pork and pineapple fried rice! Enjoy!
