How to make Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan

Step 1: In half, width-wise, slice large chicken breasts to make 4 thin chicken breast halves. With salt and pepper, season all sides of the chicken.

Step 2: To saute, set the Instant Pot and allow it to heat through.

Step 3: To the pot, drizzle in some olive oil. Lay the chicken breasts halves and cook until the bottom side begins to brown. Flip and cook the other side. Set the chicken aside when done.

Step 4: Saute the garlic in the pot until aromatic. Pour in the marinara sauce. Add the basil and stir. Let everything heat through. Then, turn the saute off.

Step 5: Into the pot, return the chicken and place them in the center of the sauce.

Step 6: Close the lid and seal. Set to cook for 3 minutes on Low pressure.

Step 7: Carefully release the pressure on quick release when done.

Step 8: Over each chicken half, add the mozzarella cheese along with Parmesan and basil.

Step 9: Close the pot, but do not turn the IP on. Let the lid on for 4 to 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

Step 10: Serve the Chicken Parmesan immediately. Enjoy!

Note: For this recipe, I used 2 large chicken breasts. I slice them in half. Or you can use 4 small chicken breasts.
