Why are my Instant Pot pork chops tough?
When you do a quick release of pressure in your Instant Pot sometimes it can make your pork chops or any meat tough. We like to do a natural release for most of our Instant Pot recipes. Sometimes we will do a 10 minute natural release and then a quick release of the remaining pressure. This will help keep your pork chops or any meat tender.
How long does it take to cook pork in the Instant Pot?
The Instant Pot cook guide states 15 minutes per pound of pork. We like to cook our pork extra long with a natural release so it is fall apart tender and has absorbed all the extra flavors. You should always check your pork with a digital meat thermometer to make sure that it has reached the required internal temperature before eating. We use one like this.
Ingredients – Instant Pot Ranch Pork Chops and Potatoes
1 Cup Chicken Broth
1 ½ – 2 lbs. Boneless Pork Chops
1 Packet Dry Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix
1 Tbsp Cajun Seasoning (or seasoning of your choice)
a couple of small red potatoes
Instructions – Instant Pot Ranch Pork Chops and Potatoes
#1. First, pour 1 cup of chicken broth into your Instant Pot with your pork chops.
#2. Next add your Cajun Seasoning (or seasoning of choice) to the tops of your pork chops.
#3. Then sprinkle your packet of Ranch dressing mix evenly on top of your pork chops.
#4. Next, Place your potatoes on top.
#5. Close the lid and turn the steam release valve to the “sealing” position.
#6. Next, press the pressure cook button. Then press the pressure level button until high pressure is selected. Set timer for 30 minutes if you have 2 lbs of pork chops. We use the Instant Pot cook guide that states 15 minutes per lb. of pork.
#7. After the timer has completed allow your Instant Pot to naturally release the pressure. This should take about 20 minutes.
#8. Take you pork chops and potatoes out of your Instant Pot and place them under some foil to keep warm.
#9. Turn your Instant Pot on “Saute” mode. Add your 1 can of cream of chicken soup and stir with the liquid that is in your pot to make a creamy gravy. If the gravy is not thick enough you can also add a corn starch slurry while stirring on “Saute” mode.
#10. Finally, serve your Instant Pot ranch pork chops and potatoes topped with your delicious gravy!

Wow! Made to the recipe exactly. No need for a knife to cut your pork a fork will do. Everything was perfect. Great recipe and we will make again.
Jonnie
Pork chops were so tender and my husband kept complimenting the meal!
Marissa
We loved it!
Bethany Seeley
This was delicious! I used cream of mushroom soup, as I didn’t realize until I needed it that I had no cream of chicken. My husband loved it, and even our 2 year old gobbled up some pork chop. That’s a win!
Manny
Does this have a strong Ranch flavor? My wife doesn’t care for Ranch dressing, but I have made things with that as an ingredient that were to her liking. If the cajun spices changes the flavor so that it doesn’t taste just like Ranch, I think she’ll like it.
J.
No it does not have a strong ranch flavor at all. You could use just half of the packet of ranch also.
Shelley
Could you leave the potatoes out? Could you use regular potatoes instead of the red?
Stacey
So good. I didn’t have the Cajun seasoning a I used a poultry/pork seasoning, so good! I would add carrots next time. And yes, no knife needed!
Megan
This is hands down my favorite pork chop recipe! The pork chops literally melted in the gravy with the potatoes. I made my mom’s sugar fried green beans with it and it was a perfect side!
Autumn
My family of 4 (with 2 of those being super picky) loved this recipe. Our grocery stores were limited on pork products so I used pork country style boneless ribs and they were great!
Deborah Troop
I had pork chops I had to use and they were rather then. I had groceries delivered and we are having a lot of shortages locally. Instead of cream of chicken soup they substituted mushroom and instead of chicken stock they sent beef. I decided to go with what I had, which included Lipton Onion Soup instead of Ranch packet. To top it off my red potatoes didn’t look good so I used russet. It turned out amazing!! I was so stressed because everything was going wrong! Because my chops were so thin they came apart. There are no left overs and my son was licking the bowl. I am definitely cooking again but look at the pantry better before I do.

Question: can this recipe be doubled?? I don’t know if they’ll undercook if I do a layer of 3 and then stagger another layer of 3?
Steve B
Can sweet potatoes be substituted for red? Thanks,
Shari
This was DELICIOUS!! Will make again. I added 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup at the end for extra gravy!! I was amazed at the tenderness of the chops!!
Lisa Le
I made this recipe and it was delicious. I didn’t have red potatoes on hand, so I used russet potatoes and cut into chunks. I also used cream of mushroom soup, because I didn’t have cream of chicken. We really enjoyed it. The pork chops were fall off the bone tender! We’ll be making this again!
