Season pork chops: Pat dry, season both sides with salt and pepper.
Sear: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Make sauce: In the same skillet, add pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer.
Thicken: Stir in cornstarch slurry. Cook until sauce thickens (2–3 minutes).
Combine: Return pork chops to skillet, add pineapple chunks, and spoon sauce over them. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 5–7 minutes until pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Serve: Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Pairs well with rice or stir-fried vegetables.
✨ Tips & Variations:
For a smoky touch, grill pork chops and finish with the pineapple-ginger glaze.
Add a splash of sriracha or chili flakes for a sweet-spicy kick.
Works great with chicken breasts or thighs, too.
