I have to tell you that if you were to ask if there’s a meat I don’t cook nearly enough, I’d tell you it’s pork! Especially pork chops.

Pork chops are so great for a quick cooking meal, but for some reason I had always passed them up while grocery shopping. Not anymore. Not after making this delicious pineapple pork chops recipe. It’s SO good, so flavorful, and perfect for a quick dinner, and it’s this weeks’ Five Ingredient Friday recipe.

For this recipe all you do in marinate pork chops in soy sauce and red pepper flakes, and then cook it with pineapple and cilantro. It’s fresh and soooo good. One of the first times I made this recipe I put the pork chops in the marinade and put it in the fridge. Life got crazy busy and I only was able to make it two days later. So the pork had been marinating in soy sauce and red pepper flakes for 2 days. The pork was darker in color because of the soy sauce, and when I made it, holy cow was it full of flavor (and heat from the red pepper flakes was great and intensified lol).

So I’ve made this with both a quick marinade or an overnight one, and it’s great both ways. These pineapple pork chops serve really well over rice.

These 5 ingredient pineapple pork chops would also be great if you grilled them. It’s an overall delicious dinner, and I love the sweet/savory/slightly spicy flavor that these pineapple pork chops have.

    What If a person can’t use the red pepper flakes due to ulcers, can the red pepper flakes be replaced with something else that is not spicy?

      Great question, in this recipe I’d say you could replace the red pepper flakes with a garlic clove, pressed, or you could add in some sweet paprika!

    I’m on a very low carb eating plan that allows real, natural fats and meat protein, but does not allow garlic, milk or flour. I’ve discovered since starting this just after Easter that I have a bit of a gluten sensitivity, too, as gluten causes inflamation and achiness in my joints. I’m willing to “cheat” just a smidge by using a very small amount of garlic powder, and I can certainly substitute heavy cream for milk, but I’m not sure what to do to replace the flour. Can it be omitted completely?

      I think you might have wanted to comment on a different recipe, because this recipe does not have any garlic, flour or in it or milk…thanks

    I know I’m late to comment, but to anyone looking for an easy, delicious recipe, this is such a winner. We paired with the frozen rice at Trader Joe’s to really make it quick! I’m sometimes disappointed by 5-ingredient/quick dinner type recipes, but this is great! Thanks, Phi!

    Awesome dish! We like the fact that you used these specific pork chops for this recipe, which don’t have a lot of fat and it would pair great with the pineapple. For us here in Greece, this would be “Chinese” food with the soy and the rice LOL:) Our favorite pork cut is the neck, with its steaks having a lot of marbling which helps to keep the meat juicy while grilling, but it would work with this recipe (too fatty).
    Thank you for the amazing recipe dear!
    Sending you lots of hugs!

      That’s so interesting about the different cuts of pork that are used. I’ve only had pork steaks once in my life and they were delicious – I’ll now be on the lookout for them more!
      Thank you for your comment 🙂
