Frequently Asked Questions
For this recipe we used 6 medium sized boneless pork chops that were cut medium-thick in size. Each pork chop was about 6 ounces in weight. For a total before cooking weight of 36 ounces (or about 2.25 pounds). Of course your individual pork chops may weigh a little more or a little less.
If you prefer to use bone-in pork chops instead of the boneless pork chops called for in this recipe you can easily substitute them. There should not be much difference in the cooking time called for in this recipe. Keeping in mind that individual slow cookers can cook at different temperatures. The cooking time of 3 to 4 hours on the LOW heat setting still applies. However bone-in pork chops may fall closer to the 4 hour cooking range.
We suggest cooking the bone-in pork chops for 3 hours on LOW, checking to see if they are done and if they are not, cooking longer until done.
We suggest serving these delicious pork chops with cooked white or brown rice and your favorite steamed or stir-fried frozen stir-fry vegetables or fresh stir-fry vegetables for a great family style dinner.

Could you use chicken breast
Hi Janet, this recipe has not been tested using chicken breasts but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. If you give it a try be sure to let us know how it turned out for you!
Can I brown the chops lightly first?
Absolutely Pamela! Browning the pork chops first will sear in the juices and add another layer of umami flavor that you get from browning meat.
If I may make a suggestion: why drain the pineapple bits just to add in flavorless water? I would leave in the juice and maybe cut back on the added sugar. While I didn’t follow the recipe exactly, it served as great inspiration.
Hi Shelby, good question! I think removing the pineapple juice was to create a less sweet dish. But you could totally use the pineapple juice in this recipe.
This turned out tasting like traditional sweet n sour, Still good but name it for what it is,
I am glad you enjoyed the recipe Dickeñs. Sorry if the name didn’t suit you though. Thanks for the kind review!
