Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Pork Chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops 5 ounces each
For Serving (Optional)
  • 2 medium onions chopped
  • 1 Hot cooked noodles
  • 1 Sliced green onions

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Thermometer

Method
 

  1. Mix the pineapple juice, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the pork chops on both sides. Remove the pork chops from the skillet.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté the chopped onions over medium heat until they are tender.

  5. Return the pork chops to the skillet. Cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the pork reads 145°F (63°C), about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Let the pork chops stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving. Serve over hot cooked noodles and top with sliced green onions, if desired.
