3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
4 1 1/2-inch-thick boneless center-cut pork chops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped

Heat a large skillet over medium-high to high heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO (twice around the pan).

Remove from the oven and let the chops rest, covered with a piece of aluminum foil, for a few minutes.

While the chops are in the oven, return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining tablespoon of EVOO.

Add the chunked pineapple and its juice and the chicken stock.

Continue to cook the sauce for 3 to 4 minutes.
