Instant Pot Ranch Pork Chops:

This Instant Pot Ranch Pork Chops is one of the easiest instant pot recipe. This recipe only requires a few ingredients and the flavor is amazing when adding the ranch seasoning packet.

We like to brown the pork chops just to give the pork chops that brown, crispy texture. Then we toss all the ingredients in the instant pot for an amazing meal idea.

You can even add in some potatoes and carrots to make it a complete meal.

Recommendation for an Instant Pot:

Now you will need an electric pressure cooker for this recipe. I personally have an Instant Pot and so far I am loving it.  You can find the Instant pot on sale here.

I seriously do love it. However, there are other great electric pressure cookers that will work great for this recipe too.

  • Add Pork Chops to Instant Pot – Place the pork chops in the Instant pot with a tablespoon of olive oil. Turn on the sautรฉ setting and brown the pork chops on both sides.

How long do you Pressure Cook Pork Chops:

Cooking tender pork chops doesn’t take long. It only takes about 10 minutes to cook and do the natural release on your instant pot. Using the instant pot has been a game changer for me family.

There is no reason to grab fast food, as I can have dinner on the table faster than grabbing dinner out.

Why are my Instant Pot Pork Chops tough?

Pork Chops can get tough if they are cooked to long. Even a few minutes than the recipe states can cause the pork chops to be tough. When you remove the pork chops from the Instant Pot they will continue to cook until they are cut.

Make sure you pick the right cut of pork. You want to choose pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. If you choose pork chops that are to thin, they can get tough fast

You can use bone-in pork chops for this recipe.

This recipe is also great for pork chops with the bone in. I would just increase the pressure to 10 minutes. Only 5 more minutes you will have delicious bone in pork chops cooked wonderfully in the Instant pot.

How to Cook Frozen Pork Chops:

Another reason we love our instant pot, is I can still dinner done fast even if my meat is frozen. This is the perfect meal to prepare ahead of time and freeze.

Simply, toss your frozen ingredients in the instant pot and cook. You will probably need to double your time to about 10 minutes.

Your pork chops will go from frozen to a delicious tender meal in the matter of minutes.

Add veggies and make it a one pot meal:

You can add in any veggies to this recipe (in the Instant Pot) and you don’t even have to increase the cooking time. I have thrown in frozen green beans, potatoes, and carrots in there and they all came out packed with flavor and perfectly soft.

I would put the pork chops on the bottom and then the veggies on top. We like to add a teaspoon of onion powder to the top to add some additional flavor.

Easy Pork Chops and an easy side dish makes for easy meal.

    Hey Lori! Make sure that you are browning your pork chops in batches so that they cook in a single layer and try using less oil to ensure that the pork chops brown well in the instant pot.

  2. Carrie Barnard says:

    You can use cornstarch to thicken it

  3. Ann Byrd says:

    Liked the flavors and meat turned out very tender. Gravy was really thin which was only issue. Do you ever use cornstarch or flour to thicken it?

  4. Lori Duncan says:

    I love the flavor of these. I always add carrots and potatoes to mine. It’s quick easy and tastes really good. I do have one question. How do you get your 6 chops to brown so well? I have an instant pot. I set it on saute with a tablespoon of olive oil. I let it get hot, then add chops and I just get cooked not browned meat? Any suggestions

  5. Cindy says:

    I put a little butter in with the olive oil to brown the chops. I put a tablespoon of chicken bouillon in the water and scraped up the brown bits. Put pealed, halved carrots and little potatoes on top of the chops. Sprinkled a little onion powder, salt, and pepper over it all. It was fabulous!

  6. abby says:

    I have cooked this recipe so many times and it is always a hit with my family. I often add a cup of jasmine rice when I cook it. I also have taken the left over juices and cooked frozen green beans or potatoes in the instant pot. Makes a great side. Thank you so much for an easy dinner.

  7. Angelique says:

    I do this with red potatoes and green beans. This always a favorite and cheap to make. It is well worth your while to use the chix broth; it adds an extra flavor profile that compliments the pork chops. I’m going to try it sometime with a different base, beef, etc. I think I’d like to try it with just a touch of horseradish sometime…also a fave at my house. Great, easy, simple.
