Step 1
Start by heating a little oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear them for about 3 minutes on each side until they’re nicely browned. Then, transfer the chops to your slow cooker. In a bowl, mix together the pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour this sauce over the pork chops in the slow cooker. Cover everything up and let it cook on low for 4 to 5 hours. The pork is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F.

Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the pork chops tender. For longer storage, freeze portions separately and thaw overnight before reheating.
