Easy Honey Garlic Pork Chops Tips:
- Pork Chops – When making pork chops in the instant pot, I recommend to use thicker pork chops. Thin pork chops will over cook and get dried out.
- Sear Pork Chops – If you prefer you can sear the pork chops in the instant pot, but it is not necessary.
- Tender Pork – You can do a quick release but a natural release allows the juices to really soak into the pork chops.
- Honey Garlic Sauce – The honey garlic sauce is my favorite part of this meal. Don’t skip the part on thickening the sauce with the cornstarch.
- Meat Thermometer – We recommend using an meat thermometer to make sure you pork chops are cooked. The should have an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
Can I use Frozen Pork Chops in this Recipe?
Yes, you can! In fact, I often forget to take the pork chops out of the freezer and use frozen ones in the instant pot.
We just love our instant pot because you can make even frozen meat in minutes. Frozen pork chops instant pot recipe turns out just as amazing.

I was a little bit confuse about the garlic powder it didn’t ask for it in the ingredients????? Was I suppose to out some? Also it ask for chicken broth bit in the instruction you mention vegetable. I assume you were able to use both.. I love all the recipes you post. Thank you so much to make meal time so much more easier.
Yes, it would be great in a crock pot. I would cook them on low for 6-8 hours. Thank you!

I’m sorry! It’s not needed, I have updated the recipe and the post. Thank you!
Unsalted butter is listed in the ingredients, but the directions donโt call for it. Where does it go?
Made these last night and they were amazing. In the ingredients list it calls for butter but, I didn’t see where to add it?
Yes, I think you could just leave the salt out and it would still be good. Thanks!
