Instant Pot Pork Chops with Gravy are one of the best comforting and flavorful instant pot recipes! Learn how to make tender and juicy pork chops in your instant pot, it's so easy!
It's always funny to me how we look forward to Summer break from school every single year, and I personally count the days down right along with my kiddos! But, even when summer finally arrives we find ourselves just as busy as we are during the rest of the year. That keeps me constantly reaching for my instant pot on a regular basis. I love making sure we can have a nice dinner on the table even on the most hectic days.
I modeled these Instant Pot Pork Chops after my recipe for Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Gravy. If it's not broke, don't fix it! Everyone in my house loves the slow cooker pork chops so much that I wanted the Instant Pot recipe to be as similar as possible!

How to Make Instant Pot Pork Chops:
To make pork chops in your instant pot you will want to start with five pork chops. This will be anywhere from 1 to 1 ½ pounds. You can use bone in OR bone out pork chops for this recipe. They simply get seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder then seared on high just until browned on both sides.
The next step to making sure that your pork chops turn out successful is to remove the pork chops to a plate and deglaze your pot. You can see in the picture below that to deglaze I have poured in ¼ cup of beef broth, then, scraped the browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. It is important to sear the chops for best flavor. It is equally as important to deglaze so that you don't get the dreaded "burn" warning as your pork chops cook.
Next, you will turn the instant pot off and add your pork chops back into the pot. Along with the pork chops add in your remaining broth, seasonings, and cream of chicken soup. I used cream of chicken with herbs, you can substitute for cream of mushroom if you prefer.
At this point, there is no need to stir! Simply place the lid on the pot and set for 8 minutes cook time. Keep in mind that it will take about 10 minutes for the pot to come to pressure. Then, you will have 10 minutes of natural pressure release time after the chops are done cooking. It is always best to natural pressure release meat for the most tender and best texture.
Once your pork chops have cooked and you have allowed them to natural release for 10 minutes you can release any remaining pressure and remove the lid from the pot.
Remove the pork chops to a serving platter and cover with foil if desired to keep them warm. Next, you will turn your pot on to saute and add a cornstarch and water slurry. Be sure to whisk constantly while adding the slurry. The gravy will thicken up right away.
Serve the pork chops with the gravy and your favorite sides! We love this over rice or mashed potatoes with a big side salad or fresh steamed green beans!
Enjoy!

I’ve made this three times in 3 weeks and my family devoured it! It was easy to make and everyone loved it.
A new family favorite!
So easy and so delicious. The only way I cook pork chops now.
Since I bought my Instant pot I have only made dishes from The Salty Marshmallow. Every one has come out AMAZING!
Can't wait for porch chops tonight!!!!
Really Easy great tasting pork chops! These are so good I used the creamed chicken soup with herbs
came out so flavorful. Probably the best pork chops I've ever ate.
Could I add fresh mushrooms to this also?
Yes I added about 1 1/2 cups chopped mushrooms and it turned out fantastic
Definite keeper. My wife and girls can be a little picky when it comes to pork chops but they all devoured this. Gravy was great over rice.
Is ok to make it and put chops back and keep it on warm for a while?
Very good I didn’t have brown gravy packet so I used chicken it was yummy
Can I cook 8 pork chops? Will I change the recipe? Want enough for leftovers.
I always double the complete recipe. There will be a lot of left over gravy but I freeze it. Its great for making hot pork sandwiches the day after we have pork roast. Or just to go on fries when I have a craving LOL
Made tonight it was AMAZING! Soo easy and quick with basically everything you have already in your pantry! I did add alittle Smokey paprika and Costco garlic seasoning. Other than that I followed it fully. Had tons of leftover gravy so which is the best part! So I am freezing it for another meal! I love all your recipes! Non of tham have steared me wrong! Thank you for another great fam favoite!
Made these Yummy Pork Chops tonight!! Everyone loved them!! Thank You!
I’d like to make three versus five pork chops. Should I adjust the pressure cooking time?
The time remains the same.
I made this recipe tonight and it was delicious. Will definitely make it again. Also easy to clean up. Love the gravy
Excellent taste. I made this several times
This was amazing. I wasn't sure I was going to like the gravy but it was absolutely delicious and the pork chops were so very tender. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!
Could I use my scratch made bechamal sauce in place of t he canned soup?
This dish was absolutely delicious. I made brown rice in the instant pot first, and kept it warm. I used a package of turkey gravy mix, since it was leftover from Thanksgiving, and used cream of chicken soup and added ground sage, ground thyme, and onion powder. Even though I had 6 pork chops, I still did the pressure cook for 8 minutes. We didn't leave a crumb on the table and are looking forward to the leftovers!
This recipe is outstanding!!! I am making it for the second time in two weeks :).
I used lower sodium brown gravy packet this time. Serving it over fluffy mashed potatoes.
Best Comfort food in the world!
I am not a super fan of pork chops. But they were on clearance so I went for it. O.M.G. Amazing!!!
We make utnusing chicken and cook for 10 mins. Its just as good.
Yummy and made gluten free. Used gf cream of chicken soup, gf gravy mix and made beef broth with better than bouillon and it came out great. I only had 4 boneless pork chops so cut cook time down to 6min but they were a little dry so next time would do 5min.
Made it as much as I could according to the recipe ina three qt mini. Everything turned out awesome as everybody has said the gravy was over the top and put it over some cheese potatoes I used inch and a half bone-in, it turned out really tender and juicy
Thanks for the recipe
Oh sooo good!!! Had to use cream of mushroom, and added can mushroom. My husband said this is his favorite to date. I will make once a month!
