Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 boneless thick pork chops fat rimmed off
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

  • Turn Instant Pot on and heat oil on SAUTE setting.
  • Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides and add to Instant Pot. Cook 3-4 pork chops (or as many fit in pot) at a time until browned on both sides, about 7-10 minutes. You might need to do this 2 times for all the pork chops to cook. Remove pork chops and place on plate until needed.
  • Add garlic and mushrooms to the Instant Pot and cook until garlic is browned, about 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth and scrape the bottom removing any browned bits of garlic. Cook until mushrooms are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add cream of mushroom soup and 1 1/4 cup chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a light boil and simmer for 4 minutes.
  • Add pork chops back into the Instant Pot. Close and lock the lid.
  • Cook on HIGH pressure for 15 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method. This takes about 15 minutes. Remove pork chops from Instant Pot.
  • In a small bowl mix 1/4 cup chicken broth and flour together until no longer lumpy. Add this mixture to the pot. Select SAUTE setting and cook until gravy thickens up, about 5 minutes.
  • Add soy sauce into the pot and stir to mix.
  • Place pork chops back into the Instant Pot and coat them with the gravy. Serve on plates next to mashed potatoes and vegetables. Enjoy!
