Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, and thyme. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the pork chops, pressing to adhere. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Turn on your Instant Pot® and select the 'Sauté' function. Add the olive oil and let it heat up. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

04

Step
6 mins

Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the pot and brown them for 3 minutes per side. This step is crucial for developing flavor. (Cook time: 6 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Remove the browned pork chops and set them aside. Pour in the white wine and chicken stock. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot (deglazing). Allow the liquid to simmer and reduce slightly, cooking off the alcohol for about 3 minutes. (Cook time: 3 minutes)

06

Step
10 mins

Turn off the 'Sauté' function. Return the pork chops to the pot, nestling them into the liquid. Close and lock the lid, ensuring the pressure valve is set to 'Sealing'.

07

Step
10 mins

Select 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' on high pressure, and set the timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build inside the pot. (Pressure build-up time: 10-15 minutes; Cook time: 5 minutes)

08

Step
10 mins

Once the cooking time is complete, release the pressure using the natural release method for about 10 minutes. Then carefully release any remaining pressure using the quick-release method. (Natural Release: 10 minutes, Quick Release: 5 minutes)

09

Step
5 mins

Unlock and carefully remove the lid. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep them warm.

10

Step
1 mins

Turn the 'Sauté' function back on. Let the liquid simmer for about 1 minute to reduce slightly. Stir in the Dijon mustard and garlic powder until well combined. (Cook time: 1 minute)

11

Step
3 mins

Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in the cold, cubed butter, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is smooth, glossy, and emulsified. (Cook time: 3 minutes)

12

Step
1 mins

Return the pork chops to the Instant Pot and turn to coat with the Dijon sauce.

13

Step
1 mins

Garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.

For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard to your liking. For a milder flavor, use a Dijon with honey.
Be careful when releasing the pressure, especially with the quick-release method. Keep your hands and face away from the valve.
If the sauce is too thin, simmer it for a few more minutes with the 'Sauté' function until it reaches your desired consistency.
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes to soak up all that delicious sauce!
