You guys, bacon and apples are meant to be. A little smoky, a little sweet, a little savory. This combo is unreal. I’ll be honest and say that I’m not a big fan of pork chops. Or maybe I should say that I wasn’t a fan of pork chops until I made pressure cooker pork chops. They are ridiculously tender, and the flavor (have I said that too many times??). Let me break it down for you: The bacon is crisped up in the Instant Pot, and then removed (we don’t want it to burn!). But allllll that flavor stays behind, and we sear our pork chops in it. Then, we pressure cook the pork chops (boneless or bone in!), in apple juice, until fall apart tender, and remove them oh-so carefully. After that, we turn the Instant Pot on saute and reduce our juice and seasonings to make a smoky sweet glaze, and add our bacon back in. The next step? Drizzle it allllll over those pork chops and dig in.
How to cook Instant Pot Boneless Pork Chops:
Boneless pork chops are super convenient because you don’t have to work with the bone, and there’s little or no trimming required after cooking. Here are some things to keep in mind:
boneless pork chops tend to shrink more than bone in pork chops, so you may want to throw in a few extra if you are feeding a few people. They may turn out to be quite a bit smaller after pressure cooking! go for the thicker pork chops so they don’t turn out dry and overcooked — we’re looking for 3/4-1″ thick, and not the fast fry. They will be nearly cooked by the time you’re done searing them, but you really want to pressure cook them for a couple minutes so they are tender and juicy.
How to cook Instant Pot Bone In Pork Chops:
Bone in pork chops have incredible flavor and a great texture. Here are some tips for cooking:
Bone in pork chops won’t shrink as much as boneless pork chops As with boneless pork chops, you want to make sure you aren’t grabbing the pack of “fast fry” or super thin pork chops, otherwise you will end up with overcooked pork.
