Grilled Pineapple Pork Chops

May 17, 2015 · by gennavee ·

This recipe is so simple, yet has a lot of delicious components – savory pork, juicy pineapple and jalapeno vinaigrette for a little heat. I serve this dish with a side of steamed spinach and 1/2 cup white rice.

Without the sides, this recipe has a total of 305 calories.

2 teaspoons olive oil

Directions:
Heat countertop grill to medium high heat and spray with cooking spray. Clean, peel, and slice the fresh pineapple into rounds (I use a small biscuit cutter to cut out the core from each round). Grill pineapple for just a couple of minutes on each side. Remove from grill and set aside.
