How to Grill Pork Chops on the Ninja Foodi Grill
Cris here.
We love our Ninja Foodi Grill around here. We use it about every day. There is something VERY convenient about having that grill taste without having to go fire up our big grill.
So when I was thinking through the foods we like to toss on it for a quick meal, I knew I needed to share how to grill pork chops with you guys. One of the questions I get from people the most is how to keep pork chops from drying out regardless if you slow cook, electric pressure cook, air fry or grill them.
How not to overcook pork chops
The answer is almost always cooking time. I often say that overcooking pork chops turns them into puck chops! Keep these things in mind when cooking pork chops:
- Bone-in Pork Chops will take longer to cook than boneless chops.
- Unless a recipe specifies the thickness of a chop, assume it means a medium thickness of around 3/4 inch.
- The thickness of your pork chop matters. Thin pork chops will cook up way faster than thicker versions. Reduce cooking times for thin chops, use cooking thermometers for thick chops. (Note: The Ninja Foodi Grill Smart XL version has a built in thermometer.)
- If you struggle with tough pork chops, try cooking them to 145 degrees and let them rest for 3 minutes before cutting into them. It is okay if there is a little pink hue to the meat.
General Grill Notes
- We like to use the Ninja Foodi Grill as an indoor option for our grill recipes.

- Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
- All grills cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own grill and time adjusted as needed.

How would the pork chop cook on a George Foremen Grill since it cooks on both sides at the same time? Would five minutes be sufficient?
Hi Judy!
Unfortunately I’m not sure. We don’t have a George Foreman Grill. If you give it a try, we would love to hear how it goes!
