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!

Delicious recipe! I also used ground ginger, added red pepper, carrots and onion. I used 8 oz chunk pineapple. For the liquid, I used the pineapple juice and made up the difference in water to what the recipe called for. Perfect sweetness and taste!
Just made this with a few additions per previous reviews. Add diced red bell pepper, red onions and used pineapple chunks as that was what we had. Very good!
This dish was a big hit for the family. I made a copy of it and will be making often.
So good and tastey, everyone went up for more.
My guy loved this recipe! So easy and quick.
This recipe is excellent. I used ground ginger because that is what I had and fresh pineapple with canned some pineapple juice. Will definitely make again.
Ok, did the resipy but added green peppers onions and pickled spicy carrots. Oh my God this slapped butt cheeks. I served it on rice with steamed broccoli with a sprinkle of aged asiago cheese. Dam no complaints in this house
This is the start of a good recipe, however, it needs adjustments. The sauce when made according to directions is overwhelmingly sweet like a tangy condensed syrup. Cutting the ketchup, brown sugar and soy sauce in half and adding a splash of chicken broth made it palatable. Also, grilling/ browning the pineapple on your stovetop will give it a caramelized flavor and add color. I sauteed a red and orange bell pepper to add with the pineapple at the end. I served this with rice cooked in unsweetened coconut milk and water (1/2 each). My husband really enjoyed it.
This sounds yummy. I have thick pork chops, I’ll need to adjust the time.
Really tasty recipe. Thank you
