Directions
Combine the first 8 ingredients in glass measuring cup; whisk until brown sugar is dissolved; set aside.
Season trimmed chops with the salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chops, onion and garlic. Sauté until the meat is well browned on both sides. Add the reserved pineapple juice; cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until meat is cooked through. Gently stir in pineapple tidbits and heat through.
Serve over hot cooked rice with a vegetable, such as sugar snap peas or snow peas.
