In this blog post, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to cook pork chops in the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker, ensuring a fuss-free and delicious meal every time.

What You’ll Need:

• Thick-cut bone-in or boneless pork chops
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Your favorite seasoning or rub (optional)
• 1 cup of chicken broth or stock
• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (optional)

Instructions:

1. Start by preheating your Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker. Set the device to the “Saute” mode and add a drizzle of olive oil.
2. Season your pork chops generously with salt and pepper. You can also use your favorite seasoning or rub to add even more flavor.
3. Carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the preheated Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker and sear them on both sides until they develop a beautiful golden brown crust. This step not only adds flavor but also helps seal in the juices.
4. Once the pork chops are seared, remove them from the cooker and set them aside momentarily.
5. Pour the chicken broth or stock into the cooker, deglazing the pot by stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. This will add incredible depth of flavor to your dish.
6. Place a metal trivet or steamer rack in the pot, and carefully return the pork chops to the cooker, arranging them on the trivet.
7. Close the lid of the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker and ensure it is set to the “Pressure Cook” mode. Cook the pork chops on high pressure for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops. Thicker cuts will require slightly more cooking time.
8. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural release of pressure for about 5 minutes. Then, perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure in the cooker.
9. Remove the pork chops from the cooker and transfer them to a serving platter. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
10. If desired, you can thicken the cooking liquid to make a delicious gravy. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a splash of cold water, then stir it into the cooking liquid in the cooker. Set the cooker to “Saute” mode and cook for a few minutes until the gravy thickens.
11. Pour the gravy over the pork chops and serve with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

There you have it! With just a few simple steps, you can create mouthwatering pork chops using your Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker. The pressure cooking method ensures that the meat remains tender and juicy, making it a perfect option for busy weeknight dinners or special occasions. So go ahead, unleash your inner chef, and enjoy a delightful pork chop feast right at home!
