Instant Pot Honey Garlic Pork Chops
The most delicious honey garlic sauce is flawlessly soaked up by the succulent and tender Instant Pot honey garlic pork chops. Use fresh or frozen chops for this fast and simple dinner that takes less than 30 minutes to prepare.
Honey Garlic Pork Chops in the Instant Pot
First of all, this is the ideal choice if you need a quick supper because you are busy. The meat is easily prepared, placed in the IP, and cooked for less than 15 minutes.
Dinner is presented in an instant! The fact that you can use a pressure cooker to cook fresh or frozen meat is another reason why I adore this recipe. The only change would be to cook frozen chops for a few more minutes, but the results are still delicious. Similarly, cooking chops with or without bones is simple.
The meat is also perfectly cooked, extremely delicious, juicy, and tender. It has a lovely finishing touch from the honey garlic sauce, which also elevates the flavors. I enjoy preparing extra sauce and freezing it to use in other recipes later.
