Instant Pot Boneless Pork Chops

by Melody Thacker, in Recipes (No Comments)

I love cooking with my Instant Pot® electric pressure cooker and use it several days a week, sometimes daily! These Instant Pot Boneless Pork Chops are tender and delicious. The thing I love about my Instant Pot is I can have a healthy, tasty dinner ready in an hour or less.

Serve these pork chops with mashed potatoes and a cooked vegetable or salad. The sauce is delightful with Italian seasoning, garlic, and goat cheese. We love garlic and I was looking for a reason to open a bottle of our new organic Italian seasoning. If you can find local organic pork I highly recommend it. For your convenience, you’ll find a printable version of the recipe at the bottom of the page.

Instant Pot Boneless Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 6 6-oz. boneless, thick-cut boneless pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Watkins organic garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Watkins organic Italian seasoning
• Watkins sea salt and Watkins black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup water
• 1½ teaspoons Watkins chicken soup and gravy base
• 6 oz. goat cheese, room temperature and cut into chunks

Directions:

1. Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and set aside.
2. Add olive oil to Instant Pot® and select the Sauté function. Set to high and once the display reads “hot,” add half the pork chops and brown on each side, approximately 3 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate and repeat process with the remaining chops.
3. Turn the unit “off” and add water, chicken soup base and the first batch of chops. Lock on the lid and set the pressure valve to “sealing.” Select the “Manual” cooking option on the high setting and set the cooking time to 10 minutes. When done cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, and then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
4. Remove the lid and transfer the boneless pork chops to a serving platter. Add goat cheese to the Instant Pot® and stir until melted. Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired.
5. Serve immediately with some of the sauce spooned over the chops and mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

Serves: 4-6

Prep time: 5 minutes

Active cook time: 20-25 minutes plus the time it takes to come to pressure plus 10 minutes for natural release.

This made enough for two meals for my husband and I.  I froze three pork chops covered in the remaining sauce to reheat another day when I’m short on time.

I’m a big fan of Watkins herbs, spices and seasonings because the flavour is always outstanding. I’m also proud to an Independent Watkins Consultant. You can see all of Watkins products here. I’d be honored if you decide to shop with me.
