Grilled Pineapple Salsa Pork Chops

Grilling season is here!  My favorite time of year!

I would say that almost half my recipes this time of year somehow end up on the grill.  It’s so nice to have little mess in the kitchen and quickly grill up some of my favorite meats!  I also love that I can easily add something simple with fruit or veggies to make a complete meal.

This particular night we found a recipe for Pan Grilled Pork Chops with Pineapple Salsa on Cooking Light; however, we opted to go ahead and grill it on the outdoor grill instead!  We also decided to skillet cook the salsa, basically roasting it in the skillet.  It paired perfectly with the pork chops.

I like to serve this over a bed of rice because it just seems that pineapple and rice go together, gives it that Hawaiian flare.

This was also a simple way to mix up pork chops.  As a kid, my mom always just baked them in the oven, but grilling them and adding a glaze or this salsa with them knocks them out of the park!

It’s also easy in the sense that I had my hubby grill these…makes it simple on this mommy of an infant!

Enjoy!
