Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 boneless center cut pork chops ( 1 1/2 inch thick)
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 large red onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and chopped
1 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed, finely chopped
1 (8 ounce) cans pineapple chunks in juice
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F; heat a large skillet over med-high heat with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper.
Place chops in the skillet; sear for 2 minutes on each side to caramelize.
Transfer the chops to a rimmed cookie sheet and place in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the meat is firm to the touch, but not tough.
Remove from the oven and let the chops rest, covered with foil, for a few minutes.
While the chops are in the oven, return the skillet to med-high heat and add the remaining olive oil.
Add in the onions, garlic, bell peppers, jalapenos, salt, and pepper; cook for 3-4 minutes or until the veggies start to wilt.
Add the chunked pineapple and its juice and the chicken stock.
Continue cooking 3-4 minutes.
Add in the parsley and stir to combine.
To serve: pour the sweet and spicy pineapple sauce over the pork chops.
