PORK CHOPS WITH PINEAPPLE AND RICE

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package instructions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season pork on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook until meat is slightly pink in center, 7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet. Transfer pork to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.

PINEAPPLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Season the pork chops on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes, or until golden on one side.
• While the chops are searing, add the pineapple tidbits, honey, soy sauce, and garlic to a medium-sized bowl.
• Flip the chops over then pour the pineapple sauce into the pan. Continue to cook the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit and the pineapple sauce has reduced and thickened a little, about 10 minutes. If the pineapple sauce is getting too thick, add a splash of water.
• Serve the pineapple pork chops with a little cilantro over the top.
