Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Step: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Step: Set the Instant Pot to the ‘Sauté’ setting, add olive oil, and sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Step: In the same pot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze it.
- Step: Return the seared chicken breasts to the pot, placing them directly in the broth.
- Step: Close the lid, seal the steam release valve, and set to ‘Manual’ mode for 10 minutes on high pressure.
- Step: Allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.
- Step: Remove chicken and set aside. Switch to ‘Sauté’ mode, add the heavy cream, and whisk in the parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Step: Return the chicken to the pot to coat with the sauce and heat through for a couple of minutes.
- Step: Plate the chicken, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh garlic and freshly grated parmesan. If you prefer a lighter sauce, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
