Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops on both sides until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and black pepper.
Place the browned pork chops in a baking dish. Pour the pineapple slices and juice over the pork chops.
Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over everything.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the foil and cook for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the top.
Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Variations & Tips
For a little heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soy sauce mixture. If you’re serving little ones and they’re not too fond of ginger, you can reduce it to 1 teaspoon, or substitute with a teaspoon of cinnamon for a milder, sweeter flavor. To make it gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. You can also try swapping the pork for chicken breasts if you prefer poultry.
