Instant Pot Hawaiian Pork Chops

Instant Pot Hawaiian Pork Chops - made January 26, 2019, modified from Stockpiling Moms

I'm not quite sure what to say about this recipe except it was quick and easy. It took longer to eat a pork chop than to put this together, thanks to the simplicity of the recipe and the Instant Pot. That's if you don't count the overnight marinating time.

But seriously, open the can of pineapple chunks, rip the plastic packaging of the pork chops, wash and dry them, throw the ingredients in a ziploc bag and place in the refrigerator. In case that tired you out, you have a whole night or day to recuperate before you empty the ziploc into the Instant Pot, turn it on and let the Instant Pot do the work for you. I used boneless, thick-cut pork chops so I set it for 15 minutes rather than 10, just in case.

It worked out pretty well. The sauce was a bit thin, partly from the pineapple juice and partly because whatever I make in a crock pot or an Instant Pot always seems to turn out soupy. Or maybe I'm more aware of it since I don't eat any of these things with rice or pasta which would've helped soak up the soupy sauce.

4 boneless pork chops
1 can pineapple chunks, with juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1. Place all ingredients in a gallon-size freezer bag and seal. Marinate overnight.
2. Dump contents in Instant Pot and seal lid. Pressure-cook for 10 minutes. Let steam release naturally for 10 minutes then release remaining steam. Serve.
