PORK CHOPS & RICE IN AN INSTANT POT OR PRESSURE COOKER RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• Season pork chops with salt and pepper. (I use Cavender's instead.) Set pot to saute', add oil, and brown two chops on ONE side only; remove to plate and brown the other two chops on one side only. While the last two chops are browning, put in the onion and scrape it around the bottom of the pan (around the chops) to sort of deglaze. Remove chops to plate. Pour a small amount of the broth into the pot and scrape bottom to deglaze. Add rice, remainder of broth, pork chops, then soup. High pressure for 12 minutes. Unplug and natural release for 5 minutes. Quick release remainder of pressure. Unplug and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove lid. Remove chops and stir rice. Serve.
