Polynesian Sheet Pan Pork Chops

Simple sheet pan meals are something that I fully embrace during the busiest times of the year. I adore the convenience of fewer pans waiting to be washed after dinner along with the ease of one pan containing everything for a great meal. 

Polynesian Sheet Pan Pork Chops is just such a meal, and I’m here to share this tantalizing recipe that is oh so easy. I’ve prepared this recipe after retrieving my kids from the bus stop after school. Dinner was on the table in 30 minutes and everyone fed and happy. 

Pork chops find themselves on my weekly menu frequently. Whether you are using a slow cooker, oven, pressure cooker, grill, or as I used a good old sheet pan. There’s nothing complicated about preparing pork. In fact, I’m sharing a tip below to help you figure out the ideal cooking temperature to get delicious pork on your table every time.

My personal preference is to purchase boneless pork chops for this recipe. Be assured you can also use bone-in pork chops when you prepare this meal. 

Let’s talk a minute about pork farming in general. Many pork farmers today come from a long line of pork farmers, having the family business continuing on through the generations. 

Over the last 50 years, the way farmers raise pigs has changed. Advancements in farming methods, technology and economics have significantly transformed farming. Yet one thing remains constant for farmers: their mission to produce safe, nutritious food in a responsible manner. On farms large and small, livelihoods are tied to the land and to the health of animals in a farmer’s care. Farmers realize that raising healthy pigs by using good farming practices results in safe, high-quality pork products. More information about pig farming is available at PorkCares.org

How do you determine when pork chops are done cooking?

This is an excellent question! The key temperature you are looking for is 145° degrees F. 

To check doneness properly, use a digital cooking thermometer to measure the temperature at the thickest part of the cut without touching any bone. Once you have reached the desired internal temperature, remove it from the heat and let it rest for three minutes.

By following the steps above, your pork will be tender and juicy with a blush of pink color ensuring the maximum amount of flavor.

Visit the National Pork Board to find pork cooking temperature guidelines for a variety of pork cuts. Along with helpful nutritional information.
