Ingredients
-
1 (20-ounce) can juice-pack pineapple rings
-
6 boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick
-
3/4 cup teriyaki marinade and sauce (such as Soy Vey)
-
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
-
cooked white rice, for serving (optional)
-
roasted or steamed green beans, for serving (optional)
Direction
-
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Drain and reserve juice from canned pineapple. (You should have about 3/4 cup.) Refrigerate pineapple until ready to use. Whisk together 3/4 cup teriyaki sauce and reserved pineapple juice in a large shallow bowl.
-
Add pork chops to the bowl and turn to fully coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
-
Place marinated pork chops in a single layer in baking dish. Pour remaining marinade juices over top.
-
Bake for 15 minutes. Turn pork chops. Top each pork chop with a pineapple ring. (Reserve remaining pineapple rings for another use.)
-
Continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of pork chop reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Carefully transfer pineapple topped pork chops with tongs to a serving platter. Garnish with green onions.
-
Serve with cooked rice and green beans. Drizzle with some of the remaining pan juices, if desired.
