Instant Pot Pork Chops & Rice

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 boneless pork chops

  1″ thick
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon Spanish paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon mild chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth + 2 tablespoons
• 1 cup white rice

  Jasmine or Basmati

Instructions

• 1 Mix together the seasonings and sprinkle on both sides of the pork chops.
• 2 Set the Instant Pot to saute mode. When hot, add the butter. Once melted, add
  the pork chops to the pot and sear for 1 minute on each side.
• 3 Remove the pork chops from the pot.
• 4 Pour in the broth and deglaze the bottom of the pot to remove any browned bits.
  I have found that since the pot is already hot, some of the broth will evaporate
  and there won’t be quite enough water for the rice. So be sure to add 2 extra
  tablespoons of broth or water to make up for it.
• 5 Pour the rice into the pot and stir.
• 6 Place the trivet [https://amzn.to/3CJc8fH] on top of the rice in the pot. Place
  the pork chops on the trivet.
• 7 Close the lid and set the vent to sealing, if necessary for your model. Set to
  cook for 4 minutes on high pressure. It should take about 5 minutes to come up
  to pressure.
• 8 When the time is up, manually release the pressure. Do not allow it to naturally
  release or the pork will be overcooked. The pork should measure at least 145° F
  on a meat thermometer

• 9 Remove the pork from the pot. Fluff the rice. Serve the rice with the pork.
