Ingredients
- 4 pork chops
- 2 cups artichoke hearts, quartered (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon sugar substitute (like erythritol or stevia)
Instructions
- Sprinkle the pork chops with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Rub the spices into the meat to ensure even coverage.
- Set your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.
- Add the artichoke hearts to the Instant Pot and sauté them for about 2 minutes until they start to get tender. Use a wooden spoon to stir them occasionally.
- Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. This will add great flavor to the dish.
- Place the pork chops back into the Instant Pot on top of the artichokes. Add the butter and sugar substitute. Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to 'Pressure Cook' on high for 10 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release for any remaining pressure. Open the lid carefully. Serve the pork chops with the artichokes and enjoy!
