Notes
This recipe serves 4 and contains 1 net carb per serving.
To use a slow cooker or crockpot, cook it for 3-4 hours.
I use ¾ inch bone-in chops for this recipe. If you use thicker sized pork chops, you might have to cook them a bit longer.
You can omit the cayenne pepper to make it less spicy.
When pressure cooking meats, naturally releasing the pressure, causes the juices to sink back into the meat without drying it out. Do not quick-release the instant pot pressure, or the pork chops might become dry and rubbery.
I use a 6qt instant pot for this recipe. Depending on your instant pot's size, you might be able to fit in all the pork chops at the same time or do it in batches. But don't overcrowd the pot.
If your sauce is too thin for your liking, you can let it simmer a little longer, as this will reduce the excess liquid.
If your sauce gets too thick, add a bit of broth, a little bit at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
