INGREDIENTS

• 4 boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons sour cream or plain yogurt

DIRECTIONS

• Season the pork chops with the salt and pepper. Coat the chops with flour. Set Instant Pot to sauté. Once in sauté mode, add half of the butter and melt. Add 2 of the pork chops and sear until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned pork chops to a clean plate. Repeat browning the remaining pork chops in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Set the pork chops aside. Set the pork chops aside.
• Add the onions to the pot and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot and stirring occasionally with a heatproof spatula, until they just begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. The broth should almost immediately come to a simmer. Return the pork chops to the pressure cooker and make sure they are submerged in the liquid. The pork chops may overlap in the pot in order to fit. Cancel the sauté mode.
• Cover the and make sure the pressure valve is sealed. Set for MANUAL, HIGH pressure for 10 minutes cook time. It will take the pressure cooker 12 to 15 minutes to come to pressure.
• When the pressure cook time is up, let the Pot naturally release for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, open the valve completely to quickly release all the remaining pressure. Turn the Pot off, uncover, and let the chops and sauce cool for about 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Using tongs, transfer the pork chops to a serving platter. Add the sour cream or yogurt to the sauce and stir to combine. Serve the pork chops smothered with the rich sauce.
