    One inch thick, juicy, tender and delicious boneless pork chops made in your Instant Pot. Quite simply the best boneless pork chops i’ve ever made.
    Instant Pot pork chops recipe
    I’ve tried several pork chop recipes in the Instant Pot but honestly, have only had mediocre results. So I set out to try and make pork chops how they really should be – browned on the outside, juicy and delicious on the inside. Sounds simple enough, right? Well after a dozen or so attempts, i’ve finally got down the perfect recipe.

    I’ve found the best boneless pork chops for the Instant Pot are one inch thick. Not only are they easy to come by at the grocery store, but they simply are the best thickness for pressure cooking.

    Start with a simple seasoning on both sides of the pork chops of salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika and brown sugar. Then, with your Instant Pot setting on saute (high), melt a tablespoon of butter. When it’s good and hot, add the pork chops and brown each side for about 1-2 minutes. That brown sugar may char a bit, but that’s ok. Once the pork chops are a beautiful golden brown, remove from the pot and set on a plate. Press cancel to stop the saute mode and add 1 cup of chicken broth to the pot. Use a wooden spoon to “deglaze” the bottom of the pot. This step is simply scraping all the bits off the bottom. Then, add the Worcestershire sauce and Liquid Smoke. Add the pork chops directly to the liquid, secure the lid, close the seal and pressure cook for 7 minutes. When cycle is complete let naturally release for 12 minutes. Remove from pot and let rest for about 5 minutes.

    Description

    One inch thick, juicy, tender and delicious boneless pork chops made in your Instant Pot. Quite simply the best boneless pork chops i’ve ever made.


    Ingredients

    • 2 pork chops, boneless 1″ thick
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 tbs butter
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke

    Instructions

    1. Mix spices and brown sugar and rub into both sides of pork chops.
    2. Set Instant Pot on saute (high) and add tablespoon butter. Once hot, add pork chops and brown on both sides for 1-2 minutes each. Remove pork chops and set aside. Press cancel.
    3. Add 1 cup chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to deglaze the bits off the bottom of the pot. Add Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke and add pork chops directly to the pot in the liquid.
    4. Secure lid, make sure vent is set to “sealing” and pressure cook (manual) for 7 minutes. When done, allow pressure to naturally release for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, quick release the rest, remove lid and pork chops.
    5. Let pork chops rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

    Notes

    For best results it is recommended to use brined pork chops. Packaging will usually indicate that the pork chops contain a solution (usually 12%) to maintain moisture and tenderness.

    If your pork chops aren’t pre-brined as described above, it is highly recommended to use a simple brine: A solution of ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) salt to 1 quart (4 cups) of water. Lay the pork chops (or other thin cut) in a single layer in a shallow dish and then pour the brine over top. Let this sit for anywhere from ½ hour to 2 hours before cooking. (thanks to reader Jack P.)

Looking forward to your next post. Was trying to post it at your hashtag but I couldn’t figure out how to take a picture of it and post it to instagram. You have my permission to post it from my name or my email

      I made these the other night for my friend and me. The flavour was great but they were not very tender. I followed the recipe exactly. Any suggestions?

      Lovely meal. Pork chops were tender and tasty. I thickened the sauce with cornflour to make a gravy. Only criticism is I can’t find nutritional information or calorie intake. It maybe me that just can’t find it.

        I want to make tonight. Was reading through, is the liquid smoke optional?

      This is one of the best recipes I have ever had for pork chops. First one for my instant pot. Cooked just right and so tender and juicy. Even the next day they were just as good.

      Dry chops, cooking too long.

      hi, i really liked this recipe, but next time i will add some sautéed onions and a tablespoon of tomato paste or even ketchup, not to make it like bbq sauce, but to add depth and a more savory flavor. i added it to the leftover juice and it really stepped it up. plus, for sauté, i used ghee instead of butter, so i could get a nice brown color on the chops. thanks for a great recipe!

      Hello. I became a fan of yours after the Great brown rice and chicken thigh recipe and I follow this page but it will not let me save this pork chop recipe you sent for some reason on Pinterest???

        Hi Christine, ah… the chicken and brown rice is our favorite of all my recipes! Not sure what the problem could be with Pinterest. It’s working fine as far as I can tell right now. Maybe give it a try again?

          Hi ,
          Can this recipe be tripled or even quadrupled? Will you need to adjust the cooking time as well as increasing the spices? And how much liquid would you need instead of the 1 cup broth?

            It can indeed be increased. The cooking liquid and time will remain the same. Just make sure to not stack the meat. Do two batches if necessary.

      Great recipe, chips are nice and moist. I didn’t wear them long enough and also cut the time down to 5/10 instead of 7/12. I’m saving the juice for mashed potatoes, a sauce thickener or possibly dog food mix ins. This will be a staple in our house! Thanks so much!
