Pressure Cooker - Orange Glazed Pork Chops *A Favorite*

Recipe from Great Food Fast by Bob Warden (sold here: on Amazon)

*Note* The recipes I post here are adjusted for the Power Pressure Cooker XL. You may need to adjust if you have an Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker.

***I recommend DOUBLING the glaze ingredients, as this glaze is exceedingly delicious and simply just doesn't make enough for as much as you'll want to eat. I promise. But in case you don't believe me, here is the standard recipe.***

Base Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 4 thick-cut pork chops (I used boneless, personal preference)
• salt & pepper
• 1 cup chicken stock/broth
• 1 tsp. fresh orange zest
• 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp. onion powder

Glaze Ingredients

• 1/2 cup orange marmalade
• 2 tbsp. fresh orange juice
• 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp. soy sauce
• 1 tsp. cornstarch

Directions

1. Select "CHICKEN/MEAT" and heat oil in pot until sizzling.
2. Generously season the chops with salt & pepper, place in the cooker & brown on each side.
3. Add the chicken stock, orange zest, thyme, and onion powder to the cooker and securely lock the cookers lid. Select "CHICKEN/MEAT." (15 min cooking time)
4. Optional: Prepare a side of minute white rice while the chops cook.
5. When the timer beeps, release pressure. Remove chops and let rest under foil.
6. Drain & discard all liquid in pot.
7. Select "CHICKEN/MEAT" and stir all remaining ingredients into the pot to create a glaze. Let cook until simmering (I let it boil a bit to make sure it was a nice thick glaze). Select "CANCEL/KEEP WARM" when glaze is finished.
8. Toss pork chops in glaze before serving. 

 

Optional: Squeeze fresh orange juice over final product for additional sweet flavor.
