DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 4: Once the time is up, do a Quick Release. Carefully remove the cover once the valve drops.

Step 6: Serve the pork chops right away topped with parsley and shredded Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

NOTE:

To make this in a slow cooker. First, pan-fry the pork chops on a skillet and transfer them to the slow cooker and cook for 4 hours.
