Introduction:

Prepare your palate for these beautifully glazed pork chops, enhanced with the natural sweetness of pineapple and the aromatic flavors of rosemary and garlic.

Body:

1. Prep the Pork Chops: Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.

3. Make the Glaze: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped pineapple, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and cook until the sauce is bubbly and slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
4. Combine and Cook: Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the pineapple and sauce over them. Cover and cook on low heat for another 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through.
5. Serve: Spoon extra glaze over the pork chops when serving. Garnish with additional rosemary if desired.
