Ingredients:
- 6 bone-in center cut pork chops, about 1/2 inch thick
- kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 - 24 oz jar chunky salsa
Directions:
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Add olive oil to Instant Pot and turn on sauté setting. When oil is hot, brown pork chops 1 or 2 at a time.
- Cook each pork chop for about 1-2 minutes per side. Work in batches until all pork chops are browned.
- Add half of the pork chops back to the pot. Top with half the jar of salsa. Add remaining pork chops and top with remaining salsa.
- Place on lid and set valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 2 minutes.
- Allow pot to depressurize naturally (this will take about 10 minutes). Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. Pork should register at least 145°F.
- Transfer pork chops to a platter and use slotted spoon to scoop out salsa and serve over the top of the pork chops.
