Instant Pot Pork Chops

Tender, fall-off-the-bone pork chops in Instant Pot with creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. This is one of the best Instant Pot pork chop recipes, best served with rice or spaghetti.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 8 minutes

Total Time 18 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs. (0.6 kg) bone-in pork chops, at least 1-inch thick
salt
ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled
2/3 cup chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnishing
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley leaves

Instructions

Season the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper.
Turn on the Saute mode on your Instant Pot. As soon as the pot is fully heated (to make sure the pork chops don't stick to the pot), add the olive oil. Pan sear the pork chops until both sides turn slightly brown. (You may pan-fry the pork chops on a regular skillet or non-stick skillet.)
Add the garlic and chicken broth to the Instant Pot. Sprinkle the cayenne pepper on the pork chops. Cover the pot and select Manual and set to High pressure for 8 minutes.
When it beeps, turn to Quick Release. When the valve drops, remove the cover carefully, add the heavy whipping cream, salt, shredded Parmesan cheese, stir to mix well. Turn to Saute mode to reduce the sauce to a thicker consistency, for about 2-3 minutes. Top with parsley, shredded Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Notes

You can use a slow cooker to make this recipe. Just pan-fry the pork chops on a skillet and then transfer to the slow cooker. Slow cook for 4 hours.

Hi there- if I am doubling the meat (2.67 pounds boneless pork chops). Should I double the ingredients for the sauce and do I need to alter the time? Thank you!

  Yes you can double the sauce ingredients. It might be too saucy so perhaps you can also increase the ratio by 1 1/2 times.
