What tastes like takeout but is ready even faster? Pineapple pork chops are drenched in a sweet and savory sauce to upgrade weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

• 6 boneless pork loin chops (5 ounces each)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 shallots, minced
• 1 cup pineapple preserves
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook pork chops until a thermometer reads 145°, 6-8 minutes on each side; remove from pan, reserving drippings.
2. In same pan, saute shallots in drippings until lightly browned. Whisk together pineapple preserves, soy sauce and Dijon; add to pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add chops back to pan, turning to coat. Sprinkle with sliced green onion.
