img 331 1

These Instant Pot Pork Chops with Creamy Chive Sauce are a lifesaver on busy weeknights when dinner was forgotten and hungry family members are waiting. They cook quickly, are simple to prepare, and taste fantastic.

I prefer meals that come together in under 30 minutes so I can spend more time at the table with my family instead of standing over the stove. The Instant Pot makes that easy — minimal fuss, maximum flavor.

Beyond speed, I love budget-friendly dinners. This recipe uses just a few main ingredients, so it’s easy on the wallet while still delivering a comforting, creamy sauce that pairs well with many sides.

Instant Pot Boneless Pork Chops with Creamy Chive Sauce

These boneless pork chops are finished in a simple, silky chive cream sauce that complements vegetables, grains, and potatoes. The gravy is versatile and elevates even basic sides.

A favorite method is to add cubed red potatoes in a steamer basket above the pork chops so everything cooks together in the pressure cooker. This dish also works with couscous or quinoa—use stackable steamers for grains or smaller vegetables.

Quick, flavorful, and satisfying.

Let’s get cooking.

INSTANT POT PORK CHOPS WITH CREAMY CHIVE SAUCE

YIELDS 4-6

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 boneless pork chops (about 4 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 6 oz cream cheese, cut into small pieces
  • 3 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Additional fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté and let the inner pot heat up.
  2. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Add oil to the pot and brown the pork chops about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set on a rimmed plate to collect juices.
  3. Add the chicken broth and cream cheese to the pot. Scrape the bottom to loosen browned bits and stir until the cream cheese melts, about 4–5 minutes.
  4. Pour any juices from the plate into the pot, stir to combine, then return the pork chops to the pot and sprinkle in the chopped chives.
  5. Secure the lid, ensure the vent is sealed, and set the Instant Pot to Manual/High for 5 minutes.
  6. When the cooking time finishes, perform a quick release, then open the lid.
  7. Transfer pork chops to plates, spoon the creamy chive sauce over them, garnish with additional chives, and serve.
