Pineapple Pork Chops
A very easy and delicious way to cook pork chops with a sweet, but not too sweet, sauce. I recommend serving the pork chops with white rice since the sauce is also excellent on the rice.

These were pretty good pork chops. I would have liked if they were a bit more tender, so I think next time I will simmer them in the broth, soy sauce, and vinegar longer until they are fork tender, before thickening and finishing the sauce. The sauce for this was awesome! The recipe makes a lot of sauce, so I served extra at the table for dipping because it was just too good to waste!
Read MoreI used a little less soy and added pineapple chunks per others' recommendations. I also added some vegs to round out the meal...some red & green pepper strips I had leftover from a salad and a can of water chestnuts. I also went easy on the brown sugar so it wouldn't be too sweet. It was easy to make and not messy. My husband liked it a lot, I liked it fine, my older daughter thought it was okay, and my finicky little one at least ate it. It's not something I would like to eat often, but it's good occasionally. The leftovers were fine the next day. My only real complaint is that the chops were not very tender.

My family and I thought this was a bit bland. I'll make it again but will season the chops with garlic, salt, pepper, and maybe ginger and perhaps saute them in butter. Five minutes per side didn't give my chops a very appealing color, so I'll probably saute them till they're golden brown. As another reveiwer stated, this will ensure more tender chops.
Excellent dish! I added some pineapple chunks to the last step as well. It gave it more flavor and made it more appealing! Easy to make! I loved it!
The sauce came out thick and wonderful. I grilled pineapple slices and put them on top - will definitely make again!
I have a hard time getting my family to eat pork chops, but they loved them prepared this way. I took others' suggestions and cut down the soy sauce to 1 1/2 Tbs. and used crushed pineapple instead of pineapple juice. Next time I think I will cut the pork into pieces ahead of time and make it more like a stir fry.
Overall this dish was good! Personally I think the sauce had to much of a soy taste. I would have liked it a little sweeter. I will make this again and just not add as much soy.
This recipe is excellant!!! It is easy to make and I already had all the ingredients. Tastes a lot like sweet and sour which I love.

Fantastic! We loved it, my husband couldn't stop complimenting me. I used pork tenderloin slices, and a small can of pineapple chunks with that juice. Other than that I did everything else according to the recipe. Oh ya and I added garlic as others suggested. I'll be making this regularly! Thank you Breanna!!
My husband likes this sauce a LOT, and I enjoy it too. Very good over rice. I will be making it again to try with chicken.
Not bad at all, but it could use a little tweaking to make it an awesome dish. The meat needed a little more cook time, about 15 minutes more. I was out of soy sauce and substituted worcestershire sauce, which moved it further into the realm of sweet, but it was still good. It needed something zippy, though: cayenne pepper or garlic next time.
This was a delicious dish! However, per the suggestion of other reviewers, I sauteed the pork chops (which I sliced into smaller pieces) with garlic, salt, pepper, and a tiny bit of butter in olive oil until they were golden brown instead of just for five minutes. The pork chops were nice and tender as a result. I think next time I might try adding some onions too!
This recipe needs more reviews!! Absolutley easy and delicious. Any time I cook any recepie, I make sure I follow it exactly the first time i fix it so I can give it a more accurate rating and let others know what(if any) changes I might make. THIS NEEDS NO CHANGES---WONDERFUL, FAST AND EASY Family loved it.
I used more pineapple juice and added ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. It turned out great and I think the seasonings helped. We both loved it! Makes a good amount of sauce and is perfect over rice.
My whole family really loved this. I followed the recipe to the letter and it was easy and great. I served it with rice and broccoli, YUM!
I followed the recipe - except I doubled it since I had 8 pork chops (not boneless). I also had some fresh pineapple that I sliced and added to the top of the pork chops. We found, even with the pineapple slices there was almost no pineapple flavor in the sauce. The soy sauce overpowered everything which would be great except I was expecting more of a pineapple flavor. Maybe a different brand/type of pineapple juice would increase the flavor.
The sauce is what makes this recipe. I used it to go over sliced pork tenderloin. The only thing I did differently was to use a small can of crushed pineapple instead of just the juice. There was lots left to top the rice I made as well!
Very easy to make. My kids asked for seconds and thirds - I ran out of food. The sauce turned out great. I added pineapple chunks at the end as well. Will be making again.
Good recipe, needs a little individualized tweaking for me but overall a good sauce and a definitively a keeper for us.
Fantastic! I used with fresh pineapple which added additional flavor. The pork chops were very tender and flavorful. I sprinkled with some garlic salt and pepper while simmering. Loved the sauce on top of brown rice! I will definitely make this again.
I made this for my boyfriend and my mother and both of them loved it! My boyfriend keeps asking me when I'm going to make it again. I served it with white rice and added some green and red peppers, as well as some onions and chunks of pineapple to the sauce which added a wonderful tastey touch.
I used bone in chops and instead of pineapple juice I use a small can of crushed pinapple. It was delicious. I will definatley use this recipe again!
I used some fresh pineapple I needed to use. Cut into chunks, and after sauteing chops, I browned the pineapple in the pan/drippings. Sampling proved a bit bland taste. Added a pinch of ginger, garlic and onion powder, as well as minimal salt and pepper. Instead of pineapple juice, since I was using fresh, I used some cider I had. My hubby likes sweet and sour, so I threw in some sliced green pepper to tender-crisp just before serving and a chopped fresh tomato, about 5 minutes. Did serve with rice. GREAT!
Made this for hubby...wanted something new other than our regular pork. I couldn't eat it...(pregnancy has made my tastebuds go crazy), but hubby liked it. Said it was just a bit too sweet. I will make again, but tinker a little to suit our tastes. Thanks for the post.
Very Good and tasty my family liked it very much and they are hard to please.
huge hit. I added the pinapple chunks too, but other than that the recipe was awsome. interesting sauce somewhere between sweet and sour and teriaki...
I made this just like the recipe except I did put garlic powder on the chops before cooking them. It was super delicious! I love it! My family loved it, too!
Needs cracked black pepper! But other than that it was simple to make and tasted good over rice.
We loved the sauce! I added some pineapple tidbits for added texture. Try and buy a thin cut of pork chop for its tenderness.
This was delicious and simple. I spooned crushed pinapple over the pork chops for extra texture and decoration.
As others did I reduced the soy sauce to 1.5 tbs and I sprinkled in some garlic powder. I also tossed in a can of pineapple chunks during the last step. Overall, this was very tasty, and a bit tangy. Reminiscent of a sweet and sour Chinese dish with a pineapple flavor instead of an orangey one. My husband said he really liked it but wouldn't want to eat it all the time, and that sounds about right to me!
This was just OK. I made it at first exactly as stated, then tasted it. The sauce was pretty bland. I added more brown sugar, ginger and the remaining pineapple juice I had (probably about 1/3 cup) and it got better. The pork chops did come out tough, as others have stated. Served it with rice and a frozen veggie mix and it was pretty good, except the tough meat. If I ever make this again, I'll be sure to sautee and season the chops so they're tender and flavorful. Serving with peppers and onions would add to the flavor as well.
I followed the recipe exactly, except I cut up the chops into bite size pieces before placing them back into the finished sauce, and added pineapple chunks with the juice. I served with asian vegetable mix and white rice. DELISH!! Hubby loved it!
Turned out better then I expected! Has a sweet, bbq flavor. My Uncle loved them -- they didn't affect his heartburn at all.
I made the recipe exactly as written,I thought the pork was dry and tasteless and the sauce was watery and flavorless. Won't be making again,
I goofed and added way too much oil, forgetting the sauce wouldn't work out in the end! But they tasted good anyway.
This is a good basic recipe to build on. I substituted lemon juice for the vinegar, added freshly ground black pepper and a generous dusting of powdered ginger as the chops were browning. I also doubled the time I simmered the chops because I like pork to be fork tender. Put pineapple rings on top of chops toward end of cooking time. Best of all, I have sauce left over to use on top of stir-fried chicken!
No one ate these...this says a lot on my house. I used a poorer cut of pork too..on the bone, however they still turned out really tough with little flavor. I think a more intense sweet and sour flavor would improve the taste - along with using a thicker cut of boneless pork chop and baking instead of frying.
Cooked the chops well, they were pretty juicy, but the sauce was kinda bland. Perhaps some spicy with the sweet next time.
Really tasty, I ended up adding pineapple to the top of the pork chops when I served them, which I think tied the meal together nicely.
We really enjoyed the glaze but next time will have it with smoked ham rather than pork.
This was yummy! I had tenderized chops, so being tender wasnt an issue but I did cook it in the gravy in an attempt to further enhance the flavor. I thought I had soy, but didn't so I used teriyaki. I added crushed pineapple instead of juice. There was alot of gravy and while rice would have been good, I was in the mood for mashed tators and the gravy was even good on tators :-)
My husband is hard to please. He loves this! I will make this again.
Three of us ate this and two didn't like it. I thought it was ok, but I like many other pork chop recipes better, so I guess this one is not a keeper.
Just so- so recipe- didn't have tons of flavor even afte I added garlic- the kids ate it- but we didn't make it again.
Had pinneapple juice that I had to get rid of so I thought I'd try this. It was easy - and I thought it was just ok and was going to give it 3 stars. My guy LOVED it though - so taking his vote into consideration - I'll rate it 4 stars. It made a lot of sauce and it was good to drizzle over rice.
This recipe was very average for us. We enjoyed it but will probably never make it again. The sauce was disappointing. Wished I would of added some garlic as others suggested. I did add some pineapply chunks but still thought it lacked in flavor. Thanks!
Used boneless country style ribs to make recipe instead of chops. Also, put chunk pineapple and diced up half a red bell pepper for some color...thanks for sharing this, Breanna20...it's a keeper in my household!
The pork chops were pretty bland. I seasoned them with salt, pepper, and a little ginger before browning in butter. For the rest I followed the recipe exactly. The sauce was delicious! But it didn't thicken up much, so it just ran off the pork chops and I couldn't get the flavor to "stick". And the sauce was really the only flavor to these pork chops.
These were very good. I added the pineapple chunks along with the juice. My husband loved the tangy flavor.
This was a great sauce to go with pork chops and rice. I added chuncks of pineapples as well as finely chopped red peppers to add some texture. Great flavor!
Delicious sauce, but the pork chops were a little tough. Overall a good recipe that I will cook again.
Tasty sauce although I had to sweeten it and thicken it up a bit for my family's taste buds. I wish I could learn how to keep pork tender...any stove top recipe ends up tough. Hubby liked enough that he plans to take leftovers to work tomorrow.
These were excellent. I'm from louisiana and usually wish I would have added more spices after I try a recipe, so this time I just did the first go round. I salt and peppered the chops was all but cooked them slowly by simmering in the broth due to many complaints about dry chops from other reviews. They were just right. I also added pineapple chunks and sliced onion to the sauce.. amazing!
We loved this recipe and it's so so easy! I watched over my 10 yr old as she created this very tasty dish! We did modify it. We sprinkled the pork chops with cajun spice before cooking give it a little "kick" and we added pineapple chunks to the sauce in the final step. Served it with Almond Rice Pilaf and green beans. We will definately make this again!
The sauce this produce was delicious. The only thing I do different is cook the chop longer and grill it. I've made it over a dozen times per the husbands request. Definitely a keeper.
This was quick, easy and tasted amazing! I grilled some slices of pineapple and added them when I added the pineapple juice mixture. I also grilled the pork chops on the griddle grill instead of heating them in the pan. It gave them great grill marks and made them more tender then the 5 min. in the pan. The sauce made enough to cover the chops and anything else we wanted to!The kids loved it!
DELICIOUS!!!! Seriously, this is an awesome recipe. Used two cans of crushed pineapple, and increased the brown sugar and cornstarch. Served with rice and dry chow mein noodles.
I think the sauce might have been the factor that ruined this for me. This promised to be a delicious meal right up until the end, where it turned out to be pretty awful. It was salty and sweet and tangy all at the same time, only not in a good way (though I realize that does sound pretty good). I can't explain it. Maybe I did something wrong :(
Diffently a keeper! I only had 3 pork chops but still kept all the ingredients the same except I added a lil bit more brown sugar at the end. Plus I added some pineapple chunks which was a great add! I put the sauce over some rice and made a quick, easy and good meal. Maybe next time I will throw in a few more vegatables.. Thanks.
Since it was only for myself, I used 2 pork chops that were specially bought at 1 inch think. Didn't use brown sugar, couldn't see opening a plastic bg for for the amount needed, only to have it dry rock hard. I substituted dark honey for sweetness, used red wine vinegar instead of the white. I also used 1/2 of a tangerine sectioned, seeds removed and cut each segment into 3 or 4 chunks. After the chops were fried, I poured off the oil and butter mix and deglassed the pan with the chicken-pineapple juice, added the chops back and added the pineapple chunks and added rinsed water chestnuts. set to simmer and covered the pan.
I made it over the weekend and it was WONDERFUL!!! My husband liked the sauce so much he was actually eating spoonfuls. Thank you so much for this great recipe that I will be using again in the future!
Great recipe. I accidentally thawed out steak instead of pork chops, and now I can't wait to try the recipe with pork or chicken.
This was a great dish! VERY easy and very tasty. I hate overly sweet pork. This is perfect. As others have mentioned, I also added pineapple chunks to the last step. It really gave it that extra "yum." I served mine with some veggies (carrot/broccoli/cauliflower frozen mix). It probably is awesome with rice, though. I was out at the time :) I'll be making this again! Thanks!
I added ginger and browned pork chops a bit longer than recommended. Used light soy sauce. I had canned pineapple chunks in which I used the juice in the sauce and had the chunks on the side with rice. The sauce was very good. Next time will try it with fresh pineapple.
This was such a great change of pace for my pork chops. Easy and sauce was wonderful. I added crushed pineapple served over rice as suggested. Perfect!
Everyone loved this one. A keeper for sure. Didn't change anything.
This was good, but I think next I will marinate the pork chops first .. the taste of the sauce which was good.. the pork didn't seem to pick up. I used crushed pineapple to give it some texture.
My family of 4 gave mixed reviews for this recipe. I thought it was fabulous. My oldest daughter didn't even want to eat it. My husband and youngest daughter both said it was just OK. I guess this recipe is a matter of taste buds. It was kind of like sweet and sour, which I love and my daughter dislikes. If you like sweet and sour, you'll love this.
Very tasty and super easy to make. We used pineapple-orange juice since that's what we had, and it turned out great. Not too sweet. It also makes A LOT of sauce, which went great over our brown rice and steamed veggies. I saved the leftover sauce and plan to try it over pasta tomorrow night. We'll definitely make this again.
I did a light sprinkle of garlic powder on each chop. After the sauce thickened, I added 2 pineapple rings per chop to the sauce, topped with the chops, and warmed for 5 extra minutes. DELICIOUS! I served this over white rice.
This recipe was quick and easy. When I started making this I thought I had pineapple, but I had to use canned pears. My husband said the pears were the best part of the dish. I also added red onion, fresh pepper, ginger, and garlic. The pork did turn out dry, as I expected only because that was what others had wrote. How do I fix that? Wish I knew. Will I make it again? Maybe.
These were the best chops i've ever made.The onlything I did is add the pineapples.My daughter who eats everything with katsup Loved these chops.
I like to make the recipes as is the first time then tweak it to our tastes. This could use some salt, pepper or other seasoning on the pork before cooking. The sauce was good, and would definitely be tasty with pineapple chunks and veggies like carrots, broccoli and water chestnuts.
I used coconut oil to brown the meat instead of olive oil and cubed the boneless porkchops instead. I used only half of the amount of soy sauce. It was really good. I also used only a half a cup of pineapple juice and put chunks of pineapple in the mixture. Would definitely make this again!
My whole family loved it! followed the advise of some of the other reviews. I added a small amount of butter and garlic to the pan, and then started cooking the pork. The sauce is yummy! This dish is very easy to make and somewhat fast! It's a keeper!
All I can say is yum yum Yummy. I made this for my family, and they loved it.
This recipe was delicious!! Even my boyfriend loved it and he's a fussy eater. I took the tip of adding the chunks of pineapple, but we both agreed we didn't care for it so I will omit it next time. We had leftover the next day and the sauce was even more flavorful. Thank you for the great recipe!
Great recipe! I followed it as written except for the pineapple juice. I had fresh pineapple that I cut into small chunks but I didn't get much juice so I sqeezed an orange that I had, for the juice.
This was good for a quick, easy supper for my husband and I, but not company fare. I added pineapple chunks like other reviewers, and I think that was a positive change. Thanks for the post.
Very nice. Used crushed Pineapples. Didn't cook for quite as long. I guess it depends on the thickness of your pork chops. Definitely doing it again!!!
Very delicious and easy to make. I added pineapple slices to each pork chop -- just heated through.
I read all the reviews first but unfortunately the suggestions didn't help. Even my own changes didn't seem to make a difference. Very bland. Not sweet enough. For some reason you can't even taste the pineapple. Tough, even though I soaked them in Kosher salt for three hours prior to cooking. I wouldn't use this recipe again. Sorry!
Love this recipe! Easy to make and it requires ingredients that I already had. I made it and the only changes that I would recommend is seasoning the pork when you brown it. I used salt, pepper, and roasted garlic seasoning. In addition, I added some grilled pineapple to the sauce and it was wonderful. I would recommend this recipe.
Very good recipe. My whole family liked it. The only thing I did was cooked it a little to long. But the sause was great.
I thought the pork chops were a little dry. Like others, I added pineapple chunks in the last step.
All of us really liked the sauce, but the pork chops were a little tough. Thank you for your recipe.
Very good! I did the following different. I dredged the pork in flour mixed with cinnamon before browing the chicken. After I browned the chicken, I cooked a half can of pineapple chunks over med heat for 2-3 minutes and set aside. I followed the rest of the recipe except that I added then the cooked pineapple to the sauce mixture after it had boiled. Hubby loved!!
This was okay. I thought there was way too much soy sauce in it. Might make again without so much soy sauce and add in pineapple chunks.
