Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless pork chops (about 4 1″ thick chops)
• 2.4 g (1/2 tsp) kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup vegetable stock [IP version only]
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 60 g (1/2 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
• 20 g (4 tsp) minced garlic
• 1 tsp Nearly Italian Seasoning
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Optional garnish: freshly chopped parsley

Instant Pot Directions

• Season 1 lb boneless pork chops with 2.4 g (1/2 tsp) kosher salt and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper.
• Add 1/2 cup vegetable stock to IP.
• Place seasoned pork chops on IP’s trivet, then place trivet into pot.
• Close lid, set to SEAL, select PRESSURE COOK (or MANUAL) for 10 mins. Decrease to 7 mins if chops are thin (about 1/2″ thick).
• When cooking cycle completes, allow a natural release (NR) for 10 mins then do a quick release (QR), setting to VENT, then set chops aside and keep warm – just make sure pork reaches 145° F.
• Drain excess stock from pot.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 60 g (1/2 cup) grated Parmesan cheese, 20 g (4 tsp) minced garlic, 1 tsp Nearly Italian Seasoning, and 1/2 tsp onion powder.
• Add cream mixture to pot, Select SAUTÉ – NORMAL and cook for 5 mins, whisking frequently.
• Return cooked chops to finished sauce.
• Serve the pork chops with the creamy garlic-Parmesan sauce from the IP, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Slow Cooker Directions

• Season 1 lb boneless pork chops with 2.4 g (1/2 tsp) kosher salt and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 60 g (1/2 cup) grated Parmesan cheese, 20 g (4 tsp) minced garlic, 1 tsp Nearly Italian Seasoning, and 1/2 tsp onion powder.
• Place seasoned pork chops in slow cooker and pour the garlic-Parmesan mixture over them.
• Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. 4 hours was too long (somewhat mushy chops, but still very edible) in my IP on slow cooker setting so I go closer to 3 hours – just make sure pork reaches 145° F.
• Serve the pork chops with the creamy garlic-Parmesan sauce from the slow cooker, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
