There’s nothing quite like a well-cooked pork chop. I love my Crockpot Pork Chops and my Air Fryer Pork Chops, but these Instant Pot Pork Chops with Gravy may just be my new favorite method! The instant pot creates an incredibly moist environment for cooking meat, which results in ultimate tender juiciness. The pork is seared in the instant pot, pressure cooked in flavorful broth, and then the broth is transformed into a rich and creamy gravy! This recipe is a quick and easy, one-pot, 30-minute Instant Pot recipe that everyone will love. Be sure to serve them up with these Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Green Beans, or find more sides for pork chops here! No instant pot? You’ll love these stovetop Smothered Pork Chops or these juicy Baked Pork Chops!
Ingredients Needed
Pork Chops: use thick-cut, boneless pork chops for this recipe. I recommend pork chops that are about 1″ thick. Different sizes of pork chops will cook at different rates. Oil, Salt, and Pepper: makes up a simple spice rub for the meat. Aromatics: we’re using onion and garlic to create a flavor base for the gravy. Seasonings: a blend of dried parsley, salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and paprika adds flavor to the pork as it cooks and seasons the gravy. Chicken Broth: a flavorful cooking liquid and gravy base. Heavy Cream and Cornstarch: makes up a cornstarch slurry which helps thicken the gravy after the pork chops are cooked.

Tip, tricks, and notes for Instant Pot Pork Chops with Gravy
Use thick-cut pork chops. Thin-cut or fast-fry pork chops are more likely to over-cook. Use 1″-thick pork chops for the best results! Bring to room temperature. I like to set the pork out on the counter about 30 minutes before cooking. Room temperature meat cooks more evenly. Brown the pork chops. This step isn’t totally necessary, but it does help create that crispy crust on the exterior of the meat. Heat the oil first. Make sure that the oil is hot before you add the pork chops. You want the sear to start right away. If they sit in cold oil, the outside will become soggy rather than crispy. If you’re using bone-in pork chops, add 2 minutes to the cooking time.
Serving Suggestions
These instant pot pork chops and gravy are the perfect entree to serve with any number of side dishes. I love to enjoy them with a pile of mashed potatoes, a generous helping of roasted green beans, or a scoop of creamy homemade mac and cheese!
