Grilled Teriyaki Pork Chops

These Grilled Teriyaki Pork Chops are marinated in a homemade teriyaki sauce then grilled to perfection.

I remember going out to eat with my parents as a kid and my mom would order teriyaki chicken and it always came with a slice of grilled pineapple.  I believe it was one of her favorites as she would order it quite often.

I usually ordered the typical kid food but I was always intrigued by that grilled pineapple on top of that glazed piece of chicken.  Well, I eventually tried it and it too became one of my favorites.

I don’t always have chicken breasts on hand and sometimes substitute pork chops instead.  It works great because the marinade helps keep the chops moist while cooking and adds in tons of flavor.

I made a simple homemade teriyaki sauce for them to marinate in overnight.  You could also use store bought but trust me the homemade isn’t very hard and you probably already have the ingredients in your pantry.

These grilled teriyaki pork chops will make a great summer time meal!  Pair them with seasoned rice and a simple side salad and your good to go.  Enjoy!
