Pork chops are wonderful on the grill. Adding the pineapple and teriyaki makes it even better! It reminds me of Hawaii!—Alaina Showalter, Clover, South Carolina

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 4 bone-in pork loin chops (8 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 fresh pineapple
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 package (9 ounces) fresh baby spinach

Directions

  1. Place pineapple juice in a large resealable plastic bag; add pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  2. Drain and discard marinade. Combine the rosemary, garlic powder, salt and pepper; sprinkle over chops.
  3. Peel and core pineapple; cut into eight spears. Grill chops and pineapple, covered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145° and pineapple is tender, basting occasionally with teriyaki sauce. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  4. Arrange spinach on a serving platter; serve with pineapple and chops.
