How to Make Pork Chops in the Instant Pot
- Step 1 – Place pork chops in the bottom of the pot. Set the Instant pot to sauté mode and quickly brown the pork chops on each side with the olive oil.
- Step 2 – Whisk together remaining ingredients (except the cornstarch and water) and pour over pork in the Instant pot after the pork chops are finished browning.
- Step 3 – Cover and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
- Step 4 – Do a a quick release to release pressure. You can do a natural release and the pork chops will fall apart.
- Step 5 – Remove the lid and remove the tender pork chops onto a place.
How to Make Gravy for the Pork Chops
- Step 1 – Return the Instant pot to the sauté feature because we are going to make a gravy.
- Step 2 – In a small bowl stir together the cornstarch and water. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce in the instant pot and whisk in the sauce.
- Step 3 – Bring to a boil whisking occasionally until it thickens – about 5 minutes. It does not take long.
- Step 4 – Turn off and the gravy will thicken as it cools slightly. Return the pork chops to the gravy or serve with the gravy on top.
Expert Tips
- Gravy – If you prefer to have more gravy, increase the chicken broth to two cups and double the cornstarch slurry.
- Instant Pot – I am using an 8 quart Instant pot but you can use a 6 quart if you prefer. I use my instant pot all the time and it’s become one of my favorite kitchen appliances.
- Cooking Pork Chops – You may have to cook in batches if you have a smaller instant pot.
What to Do With Leftover Pork Chops?
One of our favorite ways to enjoy leftover pork chops and gravy is to make an open faced sandwich. This is so easy and you can just use normal loaf bread.
Add the pork chops, gravy and mashed potatoes to a slice of bread. Open faced sandwiches are so delicious and very easy. The kids think they are eating an entirely new meal and don’t even realize it’s leftovers.
I like to drizzle even more gravy on top to let it soak into the bread. The gravy is so good.
Serving Suggestions
We love mashed potatoes with this so we can pour the gravy all over the potatoes. You can learn how to make Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes without any draining or boiling. Your family can enjoy real mashed potatoes in minutes making this meal so easy.
This recipe is also delicious served with white rice. You can learn how to freeze rice and you can make this meal even easier.
If you want to get some veggies in there, a simple side salad goes great with it and only takes a few minutes to prepare. Green Beans are also really tasty too with it.
This meal is also good with asparagus. This oven roasted asparagus is a family favorite and it is very simple and quick to make.

I found this recipe about two months ago and Iβve made it at least five times since then. The pork chops are moist and tender in the gravy is out of this world. I made it with the initial amount of gravy the first time, but it was so good I made more and more gravy each time I made it. Itβs my go to dish now whenever I have company. Friends who donβt have an Instapot have even asked me to make FOR them.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This has become one of our new favorites! Thanks for sharing! ?
I would cook this on low in the crock pot for 5-7 hours based on how your crock pot cooks. Thanks!
Yes, a crock pot works great for this recipe as well. I would cook on low for 5-7 hours based on how your crock pot cooks. Thanks.
My pork chops were thawed and I used the jar minced garlic but you can use either.
I donβt have an instant pot. How long do I cook it in a crock pot.
For the ingredients, are the pork chops frozen or thawed? Also, is the minced garlic fresh or Jar?
Can a crock pot be used I don’t have instant pot?
