The first one has a warm sauce drizzled over it and tender meat you can pair with just about any side, this is a great dinner idea to try. We have lots of quick and easy Instant Pot recipes on our site but sometimes the most basic dishes are overlooked and that is the case for this one….but it’s here now! (affiliate links present)

Ninja Foodi Pork Chops

I have used pork in a variety of ways using my multi cooker. This Instant Pot pulled pork recipe tastes amazing with an Asian twist and is great on little buns as sliders.

You can use your Ninja Foodi pot or Crockpot Express too if that is what you have. Any brand works just as long as it has the saute (or brown) and high pressure function. I have several different brands and they all basically work the same way.

If you buy meat in bulk like we do at the beginning of every year you might want to try all the things. There are so many great ways to cook up different pieces of pig y’all. I mean bacon is a given and everyone knows how to cook that well. When you get to larger pieces it may get a bit confusing though. We have all the answers…..

Instant Pot Pork Chops

We’ve made Instant Pot pork shoulder recipe that is so tender and perfect for sandwiches. I have forgotten to defrost it a time or two so I included instructions for frozen pork shoulder Instant Pot style too. 😉 Both turn out incredible and you are likely to not even know that one started out rock hard.

You can use our pork dry rub on any and all of the above cuts. It’s not just for pork chops as the name suggests. I have even put it on steaks when we smoke them and they turn out out of this world delish. As for sides I haven’t found one that isn’t great but typically I make fluffy mashed potatoes or white rice.

Here are a few tips you should remember when making this type of protein under high pressure. You want to keep them nice and moist and if you do these hacks you’ll be more successful along the way;

How to Cook Bone-In Pork Chops in Pressure Cooker

• Brown 1-2 minutes per side a bit on saute is a great way to start
  • then don’t forget to deglaze your Instant pot to prevent the burn notice
• You should use some sort of sauce (that isn’t too thick) to cook them in. Not only does it add flavor but it will prevent them from drying out.
• Use broth instead of water, adds a bit more flavor (it just depends what I have on hand at the time)
• Cook on high to make them fork tender
• Always allow for a naturally release pressure release at the end instead of a quick release, that will keep the juices and get you the most tender pork chops imaginable.
• It is easy to make a creamy broth out of the juices left in the pot, on saute mode

This recipe incorporates a simple yet creamy sauce to cook them in so not only do they come out tender because they’re cooked under pressure but the sauce gives it an added yumminess. 😉

This is what we used below. You could swap out things if dairy free, use coconut milk or lactose free vitamin D so it is a bit thicker.

Ingredients

1. 4 pork chops, we used bone in pork chops, thin pork chops to 1 inch thick med. size are best, boneless pork chops may take a minute less cook time on high pressure
2. Onions are optional
3. Tomato paste will make a richer gravy
4. Mushrooms, portobellas are best
5. Half and half is best
6. Cornstarch – to thicken the sauce
7. Worcestershire sauce
8. Chicken broth – or beef
9. Salt and pepper to taste at the end
10. Garlic powder and/or garlic salt

Looks yummy and tender right?? Once done just serve with meat and 1/4 cup of thick gravy on top of a bed of pressure cooker mashed potatoes or rice.

Instant Pot Boneless Pork Chops

If you do have without the bone it will get done a bit faster but not much. It is the same as How Long to Cook Thin Pork Chops because there is less thickness to get thru really. There is a printable recipe card below for you to follow.

How long to cook pork chops in pressure cooker?

Like 10 minutes. Okay it takes maybe 10 minutes to build up to pressure so it is a bit longer than that. Think about it, that is just long enough to make your veggies and sides.
