Ingredients
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 4 boneless pork chops, each about 1" thick
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Place pork chops on a plate and sprinkle seasoning generously over both sides of each chop, rubbing the seasonings into the pork.
- Add olive oil to the insert pot of the Instant Pot. Use the Saute function to heat the oil.
- Once oil is hot, add pork chops to the pot, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown. If four pork chops won't fit in your pot at a time, work in batches.
- Remove seared pork chops to plate and press Cancel to turn off the Saute function. Add chicken broth to the pot and use a spatula or wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot (this is important for preventing a BURN error).
- Add Worcestershire sauce to the chicken broth. Return pork chops to the pot, placing them directly in the liquid.
- Close the lid and set the vent to the sealed position. Select a cook time of 15 minutes at high pressure.
- Once the cook time is complete, allow a natural release. If you are in a hurry, you can opt for a 10 minute natural release, followed by a quick release of remaining pressure.
- After the pressure has released and the valve has dropped, carefully remove the lid. Remove the pork chops to a plate and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Although the pork chops will technically be "cooked through" in a shorter time, I've found shorter cook times result in meat that is tough, so I prefer the 15 minute cook time for more tender chops.
- If desired, you can make a pan sauce or gravy from the liquid remaining in the pot. Whisk together a slurry of 2 TBSP cornstarch and 2 TBSP water. Bring the liquid to a simmer using the Saute function, add the slurry, whisking well and simmering until thickened to your desired consistency.
