Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Pork Chops with Canned Pineapple

When weeknight dinner chaos hits, you don’t need a pantry full of complex spices or a multi-step prep routine to put something delicious on the table. These Oven-Baked 3-Ingredient Pork Chops with Canned Pineapple strike the ultimate balance between sweet, savory, and effortless.

By utilizing canned pineapple and its rich juice, the pork chops lock in moisture during baking, resulting in tender, juicy chops with a tangy, caramelized finish.

Why This Recipe Is a Weeknight Favorite

• 10-Minute Prep: Just layer the ingredients and pop the dish into the oven.

• Natural Meat Tenderizer: The natural enzymes and juices from the pineapple help keep lean pork chops tender and moist while baking.

• Built-In Sauce: As the pork bakes alongside the pineapple, the sweet juices combine with the savory meat to form a light pan sauce.
