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! If you’re looking for more pork chop recipes, be sure to try out these delish Baked Pork Chops with Rice too! If you’re an air fryer user, definitely try these Air Fryer Pork Chops they’re just amazing!
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 1/2 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 1/4 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!

Looking forward to trying this tonight. It’s pretty similar to the recipie I use for beef roast, so I’m betting it’s super delicious!
Third time I have made it and it is so delicious! Tonight I added 4 potatoes cut in chunks on top of the meat. They were cooked perfect and one less pot for a side dish!! Live your recipes!
This recipe was great. If I wanted to make this with rice, could I cut the pork into cubes and add the uncooked rice before closing the Instant Pot? How would you adjust the cooking time? Thanks!
Amazing! I modified by cutting the chops into bite size prices, adding 2 cups of cooked brown rice, and a cup of frozen peas and carrots, turning into a stew. My kids had 2 bowls each, even tried drinking the gravy. This will be made regularly!
Made this tonight. Yummy! Chops were frozen, so I did pressure for 15 minutes, then did NPR. Hubby taking the last chop for lunch tomorrow. ?
This sounds really good. I’m going to try this recipe as soon as I get the beef broth and the ranch packet. Grocery store here I come.
I keep running into your recipes, and I love love love them all. I cannot wait to give this one a try tonight!!
So easy! I didn’t change anything except that I used about 10 pork chops. Big hit here! My 4 year old is insanely picky and he ate 2 plates!!!
When you doubled the recipe did you double the time?
Delicious!
This is deliciousness in a pot! We love this recipe. I’m making it tonight for the second time. Love it, definitely a keeper and super easy. This is my kind of cooking!
