Instant Pot Smothered Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Season pork chops with garlic powder, seasoned salt, oregano, onion powder, and pepper.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Melt butter in the hot pot. Add pork chops, working in two batches if necessary, and sear until crispy and brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chops to a plate. Pour in vegetable broth, and deglaze, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
• Place a trivet at the bottom of the inner pot and stack the pork chops on top. You do not want the pork chops resting in the liquid or the seasoning will wash off. Close and lock the lid and turn the pressure valve to Sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for at least 10 minutes. Remove the pork chops and let rest while you make the gravy.
• Select Saute function on the Instant Pot®. Whisk sour cream into the broth and allow the liquid to simmer, stirring occasionally, until gravy reduces by half and thickens, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour gravy over chops and serve.

Steps:

• Season pork chops with salt and pepper. (I use Cavender's instead.) Set pot to saute', add oil, and brown two chops on ONE side only; remove to plate and brown the other two chops on one side only. While the last two chops are browning, put in the onion and scrape it around the bottom of the pan (around the chops) to sort of deglaze. Remove chops to plate. Pour a small amount of the broth into the pot and scrape bottom to deglaze. Add rice, remainder of broth, pork chops, then soup. High pressure for 12 minutes. Unplug and natural release for 5 minutes. Quick release remainder of pressure. Unplug and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove lid. Remove chops and stir rice. Serve. If you'd like to use brown rice instead of white rice in the same pot with chops. BROWN RICE 1 ½ cups long grain brown rice 3 cups liquid High pressure 33 minutes Quick release. Let pot steam 10 minutes. Remove lid. Stir rice.
