Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon oil from the sun-dried tomato jar (or olive oil)
• 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
• 2 cups baby spinach

Steps

1. Set the Instant Pot to SAUTE. Heat the oil and melt the butter.
2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Brown it 2–3 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook 2 more minutes.
3. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
4. Pour in the stock and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom (this helps prevent the BURN warning). Add the Italian seasoning, chili flakes, and remaining salt and pepper.
5. Lock the lid, set the valve to SEALING, and pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. Quick release the steam when it's done.
6. Move the chicken to a plate. Set the pot to SAUTE and stir in the cream, then the parmesan.
7. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, turn off SAUTE, and let the spinach wilt.
8. Return the chicken and spoon the sauce over it. Serve over pasta or rice with extra parmesan.
