Pineapple Teriyaki Pork Chops

I made these last night and they are really good! I will update with pictures tonight.

Pineapple Teriyaki Pork Chops

Olive Oil in a sprayer (Not store bought spray that contains propellant)
4 (4-ounce) trimmed boneless pork loin chops (3 1/2 to 4 1/2-ounce chops are Ok), about 3/4" thick.
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt, to taste
8 teaspoons honey teriyaki marinade and sauce (this not simple teriyaki sauce)
4 slices canned pineapple slices in juice, drained

Preheat the broiler. Line a small baking sheet wtih aluminum foil and lightly spray the foil with olive oil.

Ligthly mist both sides of the cops with olive oil and season with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the chops, not touching, on the preparred baking sheet and broil about 3" from the heat for about 2 minutes (be sure to leave the oven door open a crack when broiling). tyurn the chops and brush or spread 2 teaspoons of the teriyaki marinade evenly over the top of each. Top with pineapple slices. Broil for 3-5 minutes longer, or until the pineapple and glaze brown lightly and the pork is barely pink inside. Serve immediately.

What I did different.
I used Kinkomans Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce
You will need to keep the oven door shut and keep an eye on the chops. I had to cook an additional 10 minutes to make sure the chops were done.

Source: The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook

Description:
Ingredient
1 Cup Chopped steamed broccoli
2 cups Egg Substitute
2 ounces finely shredded reduced fat cheese
Olive Oil Spray


Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly mist 8 cups of a nonstick standard muffin pan with the olive oil spray.

Divide the broccoli evenly among the cups (2 tablespoons in each). Then divide the egg substitute evenly among the cups (1/4 cup in each). Bake the frittatas for 7 to 9 minutes, or until almost set.



Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top of the frittatas. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until the egg is no longer runny and the cheese is melted. Transfer the muffin tin to a cooling rack and allow the frittatas to rest for 2 minutes before serving.


They will deflate while resting for the 2 minutes.


Variations: I used frozen broccoli and chopped it up.
