Print Recipe
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-oz. boneless pork chops
  • 3 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 dash ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 4 ounces crushed pineapple

Instructions
 

  • Season pork chops evenly on both sides with next 9 ingredients (garlic through black pepper).
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. Add pork chops and cook for 2 minutes per side or until browned. Add broth and whisk up all of the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add green onions and pineapple (with juice); cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until green onions are fragrant, adding more broth if sauce reduces too much.
  • Bring mixture to a light boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until pork chops are cooked through.
  • Serve chops immediately with pineapple/green onion mixture on top.
