Add all the seasoning ingredients to a bowl and mix well to combine. Then pat the pork chops dry, and coat them on all sides with the seasoning mixture.
3 Tablespoons Paprika, 2 Tablespoons Onion powder, 2 Tablespoons Garlic powder, 3 Tablespoons Sea salt, 2 Tablespoons Crushed red pepper, 1 Tablespoon Black pepper, ¼ cup Brown sugar, 4 Boneless pork chops
Set the Instant Pot to Saute mode, and wait for it to heat up. Once nice and hot, add in the butter to melt it, then add the pork chops to brown on all sides, approximately 2 minutes per side.
4 Tablespoons Butter
Remove the pork chops from the pot with tongs, and set them on a plate to rest. Cancel the Saute mode.
Pour the chicken broth into the cooling pot, and stir well with a wooden spoon, making sure to scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
1 cup Chicken broth
Add in the Worcestershire and stir again.
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Return the pork chops to the pot, then secure the lid. Set it to pressure cook for 7 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally, about 10 minutes. After that, quick release the pressure.
Remove the pork chops to a serving plate to rest again, and in the meantime, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour it into the gravy in the pressure cooker pot, and mix well. Let rest 5 minutes to thicken.
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch, 2 Tablespoons Water
Serve the pork chops with gravy, and enjoy!

You can make this recipe with bone-in or frozen pork chops as well! For bone-in, cook them as normal, but add 2 minutes to the pressure cooking time. See frozen instructions below.
Remember to sear the pork chops in butter! This will add so much flavor. The meat will stay juicier and the browned bits at the bottom of the pan will make a decadent gravy!
While I think the seasoning in this recipe is perfect for making the gravy extra flavorful, feel free to try some other rubs, too! I love my classic Pork Rub for all cuts of pork.
