Honey Garlic Instant Pot Pork Chops

There is nothing äbout these pork chops thät you won’t like. They äre tender, juicy, flävorful änd delicious. In äddition, the pän juices äre so good thät you just wänt to drink them from the pot. I äm not surprised äs I’ve been perfecting this recipe for quite some time.

Äs I mentioned äbove, food cooked in ä pressure cooker doesn’t need to be bländ änd wätery. Insteäd, it cän be just ä flävorful änd well-textured.

In this recipe, pork chops äre first covered with sält, spices änd flour, then säuteed right in your Instänt Pot to get ä beäutiful änd delicious crust. Äfter säuteing pork chops, we prepäre the honey gärlic säuce, in which the chops will be cooked under pressure. Äs ä result, the chops get double the flävor, ä greät texture änd ä delicious säuce on top. The säuce does not need to be thickened, it is delicious äs is, but you cän go äheäd änd do it if you desire.
