Step 1

Prepare Ranch Seasoning Mix by combining all ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. (Store-bought Ranch Seasoning Mix will also work)

Step 2

Grease pork chops with cooking spray.

Step 3

Measure out 1 teaspoon of the prepared ranch seasoning mix (or to taste) and season the pork chops.

Step 4

Set the Instant Pot to "Sauté"; add olive oil and butter.

Step 5

Once the butter is melted and hot, sear chops for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Sear 2 pork chops at a time.

Step 6

Remove pork chops from Instant Pot; set aside.

Step 7

Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for 30 seconds.

Step 8

Pour 1/4 cup chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the bits off the bottom of the pot.

Step 9

Stir in remaining chicken broth and add pork chops to the pot in the liquid.

Step 10

Seal the lid, and cook on “Manual” at HIGH PRESSURE for 7 minutes.

Step 11

Do a Natural Pressure Release for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, do a Quick Release. Pork Chops are done when internal temperature reaches 145F.

Step 12

Open the lid and remove pork chops to a plate; keep them covered.

Step 13

Set the Instant Pot to “Sauté”; bring remaining mixture to a simmer.

Step 14

Whisk in heavy cream.

Step 15

Add in 2 teaspoons of Ranch Seasoning Mix. You can use less or more – adjust to your taste. Start with one teaspoon, taste, and see if you want more.

Step 16

Bring to a gentle simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, or until sauce has slightly thickened.

Step 17

Add the chops and released juices back into the sauce; allow to simmer for 1 minute, or until heated through.

Step 18

Garnish with dried herbs and serve.
