Pork Chops with Paprika (Instant Pot)

These pork chops are so easy to make and taste delicious served with Mashed Sweet Potatoes and/or Cinnamon Applesauce.

1 large egg
1 cup cornmeal
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. kosher or sea salt
½ tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
2 pork chops, bone-in, 1" thick
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup water

In a small bowl, whisk egg. In a second small bowl, combine cornmeal, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Dip each pork chop in whisked egg and then dredge in cornmeal mixture. Set aside.

Press the Sauté button on the Instant Pot and heat oil. Place pork chops in pot and brown 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Press the Cancel button. Remove pork chops.

Add water to the Instant Pot and insert steamer basket. Place pork chops in basket. Lock lid.

Press the Steam button and adjust time to 3 minutes. When timer beeps, let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes. Quick-release any additional pressure until float valve drops. Unlock lid.

While pressure is releasing, preheat oven to broiler for 500°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Transfer pork chops to the prepared baking sheet. Broil 2 minutes until tops are browned. Remove from heat and serve.
