Baked Pineapple Pork Chops

Ingredients:
– 4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 4 pineapple rings (canned or fresh)
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. While the pork chops are searing, mix the brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger (if using) in a small bowl to create a glaze.
4. Once the pork chops are browned, place a pineapple ring on top of each chop.
