This recipe is very easy to make: 4 pork chops, 4 pineapple slices & the homemade sauce.  I used a fresh pineapple but if you use pineapple out of the can…that’s okay too. You can easily double or triple this recipe for a larger crowd.

The size of the casserole dish you use will depend on the size and quantity of your chops. My 4 pork chops were approximately 4 ounces each so I used a 9×13. It’s okay if your chops need to overlap a bit to fit.

The teriyaki sauce is homemade. I try to make all my own sauces & marinades versus store-bought. Most times it is actually cheaper AND the most important part is you control what goes in it. Meaning no added preservatives! Yuck. This sauce only contains a few simple ingredients that I bet you already have in your pantry. The sauce will thicken as it bakes. I like to drizzled some on top of my pork chops when it’s done cooking. If it doesn’t thicken to your liking then try adding a little more arrowroot starch to your sauce.

I haven’t tried to convert this recipe for the slow cooker yet. I have however grilled it. If you want to go that route, here are the grilling instructions. Same ingredients, slightly different instructions:  In a small bowl whisk together sauce ingredients. Place pork chops in a large resealable bag and cover with the sauce. Refrigerate 4 hours to overnight, turning the bag halfway through. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly coat grill with nonstick cooking spray. Grill pork chops until the internal temperature of the chops has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Add pineapple slices to grill and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Top pork chops with pineapple slice prior to serving.

    Is there another option for rice vinegar?

      I would use apple cider vinegar.

    I really wanted to like these, but was not a hit for us. Even with putting it under the broiler For a few minutes at the end I couldn’t get the nice caramelization. Did you have to scoop out the congealed fat from the hole in the pineapple ring? I thought that was kind of unappetizing and scooped it out as I plated.

    I made these LaserTools night for dinner and they turned out tough. I used boneless pork chops about 3;4 inch thick.

    Very tasty. And easy enough for a weekend cook! I used regular soy sauce and doubled the ginger, just because I like ginger. My family loved it!

    I made and loved this recipe. I used Braggs aminos instead of soy sauce, and fresh pineapple. Next time I make it I’ll sprinkle a tiny bit of brown sugar on the pineapple to help it brown. I’ll also add more starch to make the sauce thicker. I had rice with the chops and the sauce was heavenly on the rice. My chops turned out delicious! I’ll definitely make them again! Thanks for a great recipe! 🙂

      Ooh I love a thick pork chop. I would reduce the temperature to 325 and cook 4-45 minutes. Enjoy!

    Should this be covered with foil before baking?

    I tried this recipe “as is” with the exception of thickening the sauce with a cornstarch slurry before baking. When I tasted it, it was much too acidic. I had to “rescue” it by turning it into a sweet and sour dish by adding some brown sugar. Then I baked it as instructed. The chops turned out very moist and we renamed it Hawaiian pork chops. I think that, if I try it again, I would replace the rice vinegar with mirin, which is sweet cooking sake. I use the non-alcoholic type. Then the recipe looks much more like the teriyaki recipe I always use. I’d omit the pineapple and just garnish with some thinly sliced green onions.

    This was so yummy. I made it last night. I used pineapple juice instead of water and I also added a tsp of cornstarch slurry to the sauce then baked and it thickened nicely.

    Made this for dinner tonight. It was FABULOUS served on a bed of rice. Started with a side salad and some crusty bread. It was so easy and quick to prepare, it will become a regular in our line-up. Add a glass of your favorite wine and you’ve got a great start to “date night”.

    We just loved this. It is just the two of us and I had two big bone in 1 inch thick chops. I used all the amounts for the 4 chops. It was PERFECT. Wow, really great recipe. Had to cook longer of course. Thank you. I love pork chops and am always trying to find a new a different way to cook them. So glad I tried your recipe. 5 star recipe.
