Press “Saute” button to heat up your Instant Pot using “Sauté Normal” function. Wait until it says “HOT” (about 8 mins)

Brown pork chops on each side, approximately 2 minutes per side.
Remove pork chops from pot and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add sliced mushrooms to pot.
Cook until mushrooms release their juices, approximately 6-7 minutes, the mushrooms should be a little crispy on the edges.
Add onion and garlic to pot and cook for 1-2 minutes more, stirring once or twice.
Deglaze the pan by adding the chicken broth and scraping up the brown bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon.
Add the pork chops back to the pot and make sure the pork chops are partially covered by the broth.
Close the lid, then turn the venting knob to the sealing position.

While the chops rest, stir in the *half and half, Greek yogurt, and 2 tablespoons fresh parsley until blended into the pot sauce.

Tip: If you prefer a thicker sauce, combine 1 teaspoon of arrowroot with some water and stir the slurry into the pot before returning the pork chops to finish cooking them.
