Mix the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper together in a small dish.
Pat the pork chops on all sides with a few paper towels to dry them. Sprinkle the chops generously with the seasonings, turning and patting to fully coat the chops on all sides.
Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode.
Heat the oil in the pot, then add the pork chops. Brown the chops for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops and set them aside on a plate.
Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Once the liquid is simmering, add the pork chops back into the pot.
Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to High Pressure for 10 minutes if using boneless pork chops. If using bone-in pork chops, set it for 13 minutes.
Once the cooking time is done, allow for a natural pressure release for at least 10-15 minutes (simply wait for the pressure to release).
Carefully open the lid, then remove the pork chops and serve. If you aren't making gravy, spoon some of the liquid from the pot on top of the pork chops for extra flavor and to help keep them moist.
Make the Gravy (optional step): Turn the Instant Pot to Saute mode. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then slowly whisk in the flour or cornstarch. Simmer for a few minutes, whisking often, until thickened.

You can use boneless or bone-in chops. I recommend boneless pork chops because they tend to fit inside the Instant Pot more easily.
Fully dry the chops on all sides with a few paper towels before seasoning them.
For the most flavor, use Saute mode to brown the pork chops before cooking using the Instant Pot.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, per USDA recommendations.
