Do you love pork chops as much as we do? They're an easy protein that cooks quickly for busy nights.

These boneless pork chops have the most incredible creamy lemon sauce. And it all comes together in the Instant Pot—no stovetop or oven required. Even though it takes a little over an hour, it's so easy, you'll be adding it to your weeknight dinner rotation soon enough. And for more inspiration, check out our 45+ quick and easy Instant Pot dinners.

This recipe also yields a sauce that's great for spooning on your pork, a side of roasted potatoes or sopping up with crusty bread. To turn the flavorful liquid into a more gravy-like consistency, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of broth in a small bowl to make a slurry. Then stir the slurry into the pot and bring to a simmer until thickened.

Want an Instant Pot, but don't have one yet? No worries. Our Oven-Baked Pork Chops are insanely delicious, too.

Ingredients

6
boneless pork chops, about 1" thick
1/3 c.
all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp.
extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp.
butter
8 oz.
baby bella mushrooms, sliced
2
cloves garlic, minced
3/4 c.
low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 c.
heavy cream
1/4 c.
freshly grated Parmesan
2 c.
baby spinach
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Directions

1. Step 1Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour.
2. Step 2Set Instant Pot to Sauté setting and heat oil. When oil is shimmering, add pork chops in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
3. Step 3Remove pork chops and add butter. Once melted, add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of pan.
4. Step 4Stir in cream and Parmesan, then return pork chops to Instant Pot. Lock lid and set to Manual on high for 10 minutes. Follow manufacturer’s guide for quick release, making sure to wait until cycle is complete before unlocking and removing lid. Let pork chops sit in sauce, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
5. Step 5Remove pork chops, then stir in baby spinach and lemon juice, letting spinach wilt slightly.
6. Step 6Serve pork chops with sauce.

If using newer versions of Instant Pot, especially 8-quart capacity models, we recommend removing the inner pot and letting it cool off for 5 to 10 minutes before moving on to the pressure cooking stage. This will help prevent a potential burn warning.
