Instant Pot Pork Chops Dinner
Description
This recipe starts with browning thick boneless pork chops in olive oil using the Instant Pot's sauté function, adding a slight sear to enhance flavor and texture. A sauce made from cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, black pepper, and chicken broth is whisked and poured over the meat. Sealed and cooked on high pressure for 15 minutes with a natural release, the pork chops become tender without drying out.
After removing the pork chops, a cornstarch slurry is added to the pot and simmered to thicken the liquid into a creamy, ranch-flavored gravy. This sauce complements the pork chops well, providing moistness and seasoning.
The dish can be served over mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables, making it a filling main course that integrates well into weeknight meals or meal prepping.
Leftover pork chops and sauce can be kept in an airtight container refrigerated for 4 to 5 days. Although the recipe prefers boneless chops, it can also be prepared with bone-in pork chops if desired.
Ingredients
- 6 pork chops thick cut, boneless
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 can cream of chicken soup (10 oz each)
- 2 Tbsp ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Turn the Instant pot to the sauté setting. Place the olive oil and pork chops in the instant pot. Cook the pork chops for 1-2 minutes per side to brown them slightly.
- Whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, ranch seasoning and pepper together in a mixing bowl.
- Then pour this mixture over the pork chops in the instant pot.
- Seal the instant pot and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes with a 10 minute natural release.
- Remove the pork chops and switch the instant pot to the sauté setting.
- Create a cornstarch slurry but dissolving the cornstarch into the water. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the instant pot and cook until the gravy thickens.
- Serve the pork chops and sauce over your favorite sides and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
- Boneless pork chops are recommended for this recipe, but bone-in pork chops can be used as an alternative.
