TOOLS AND INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE THIS INSTANT POT TUSCAN CHICKEN
An Instant Pot. I have this Instant Pot, it’s my favorite!
I love these stainless steel measuring cups and use them every time I cook, as well as those measuring spoons.
These are the chili flakes that I use, they are absolutely AMAZING! I add them to any recipes when I want some heat, and they make a huge difference in the taste.
THE INGREDIENTS
You will need:
Olive oil
Onion
Chicken breasts (skinless and boneless)
Seasonings: dried basil, thyme, chili flakes, black pepper, salt… Anything that you like!
Garlic
Sundried tomatoes
Vegetable stock – I make my own in the Instant Pot, it’s sooo easy and good! Click here for the recipe.
Heavy cream
Parmesan cheese
Spinach – large leaves or baby spinach leaves
HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT TUSCAN CHICKEN
Step 1
Click on “saute” and set for 10 minutes. Add olive oil, and cook the onions until they’re soft and translucent.
Then add the chicken breasts and brown them from both sides.
Step 2.
Season the chicken, then add the chopped sundried tomatoes and garlic. Cook for a minute, then add the stock.
Step 3.
Cover the pot with the lid, and set the vent on sealing position. Click on “pressure cook” or “manual” and choose high pressure for 5 minutes. Allow the Instant Pot to come to pressure, and start cooking.
Once cooking is finished, quickly release the steam. There will be lots of liquid, and that will be the base of the creamy sauce. Take the chicken breasts out, and set aside in a plate.
Step 4.
Add heavy cream and parmesan cheese to the liquids with sundried tomatoes. Set on “saute” for 5 minutes.
Stir with a wooden spoon, as the sauce cooks and becomes creamy.
Step 5.
Put the chicken back in, cover it with sauce. Add the spinach and let it wilt (the Instant Pot should be switched off at this stage). I like to cover the IP with a lid for a couple of minutes to let the spinach wilt.
Season with ground black pepper, and serve over rice or pasta.

This was delicious and I’ve made it a few times. I usually double the sauce to serve over pasta. Once I added chives and parsley. Making it again tonight.
