Quick and Easy Hawaiian Pork Chops. Pan fried pork chops simmered in a sweet and tangy Hawaiian sauce. Ready in under 25 minutes!

Hi guys! It’s Kelley back from Chef Savvy! Today I am sharing these AMAZING Hawaiian Pork Chops! This is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for busy weeknights. Best of all this dish is ready in under 25 minutes!

The thinly sliced pork chops do not take long to cook. I brown them on both sides then let them simmer in the sauce for 10 minutes. The result is a super juicy and tender pork chop!

The best thing about this dish is the sauce. It’s sweet, thick and tangy. It’s a combination of soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, pineapple juice, garlic & ginger.

I love to serve this dish with rice to soak up all of that extra sauce. I also use the leftovers for pork and pineapple fried rice! Enjoy!
