Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts
2 teaspoons butter (divided)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 cups tomato sauce (without salt)
1.5 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
bunch of green onion, finely sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the 4 seasonings for chicken. Add chicken breasts to seasoning and toss until all chicken is coated.
  • Turn on the Instant Pot to SAUTE.
  • Once the pot is hot enough, add 1 teaspoon butter and oil.
  • Place the seasoned chicken in the Instant Pot and let it brown for 2 minutes. Flip the chicken and let it brown for another 2 minutes. Remove the chicken and keep aside.
  • Add rest of the butter to the pot, followed by chopped onion and garlic. Saute onion and garlic for about 1-2 minutes, until it has softened and not smelling raw anymore.
  • De-glaze the pan with vinegar. Scrape the bottom of the pot well to release any stuck brown bits (and to prevent getting the BURN notification).
  • Add tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper to the pot. Stir well.
  • Place the browned chicken in a single layer in the Instant Pot. Cover the pot with the lid. Cancel SAUTE mode and switch to MANUAL mode. Cook on high (full pressure) for 5 mins.
  • Let the pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE for 10 minutes. Then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
  • Switch back to SAUTE mode. Stir in the cream and mix everything well to coat the chicken with the sauce.
  • Once the sauce looks creamy and chicken is coated well, turn off the pot.
  • Serve the chicken topped with the creamy tomato sauce. Serve over your favorite pasta.
