Ingredients
  

  • 3 bones Alberta Pork Fast Fry Chops 
  • 2 1/4 tsp Salt, divided 
  • 1 1/8 tsp Black Pepper 
  • 3/4 cup Western Family All Purpose Flour 
  • 4 1/2 tbsp Western Family Olive Oil, divided 
  • 340 g Mushrooms sliced 
  • 2 tsp Western Family Garlic Powder 
  • 1 1/2 cup Western Family Less-Sodium Chicken Broth 
  • 1 1/3 tsp Western Family Cornstarch 
  • 1/3 cup Western Family Cream Cheese softened 
  • 3 cups fresh Spinach 
  • 1/3 cup Western Family Parmesan Cheese 
  • 1 1/2 tsp fresh Lemon Juice 
  • 1/2 tsp Western Family Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions
 

  • Pat the Alberta Pork Chops dry, and season generously with 2 tsp salt and ¾ tsp pepper on both sides. Lightly coat the Alberta Pork Chops with flour and shake off the excess.
  • Set the Instant Pot to sauté. Add 1½ tbsp of olive oil until hot. Brown each Alberta Pork Chop for 3 minutes per side, until golden. Remove Alberta Pork Chops and set aside.
  • Add the remaining olive oil to the Instant Pot. Toss in sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender. Season with garlic powder, ¼ tsp salt & ¾ tsp pepper.
  • Pour Chicken Broth into the Instant Pot and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to release the flavourful brown bits. 
  • Return the Alberta Pork Chops to the Instant Pot. Secure the lid and set to manual on high pressure for 3 minutes. Once complete, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes before carefully opening the valve.
  • Remove the Alberta Pork Chops and set aside. In a small bowl whisk cornstarch with the softened cream cheese until combined. Slowly stir in 1 cup of the Instant Pot broth, a few tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Add back to the Instant Pot and whisk. Switch Instant Pot back to sauté mode and stir until the sauce thickens.
  • Add spinach, parmesan, lemon juice, and red papper flakes to the Instant Pot. Stir until the spinach wilts and the sauce is creamy.
  • Spoon the mushroom sauce over the Alberta Pork Chops and enjoy!
