• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 1 teaspoon Salt

• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion (thinly sliced)

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.

2. Set the pressure cooker to the sauté function and heat the olive oil and butter until the butter melts.

3. Sear the pork chops in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.

4. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the pressure cooker and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the onions are soft and fragrant.

5. Deglaze the pot by adding the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

6. Stir in the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.

7. Return the seared pork chops to the pot, arranging them in a single layer if possible.

8. Secure the pressure cooker lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.

9. Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.

10. Remove the pork chops and set them aside on a serving platter, covering them with foil to keep warm.

11. Set the pressure cooker back to the sauté function. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir it into the liquid in the pot to thicken the gravy, cooking for 2-3 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.

12. Turn off the pressure cooker and pour the gravy over the pork chops.

13. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
