How to make instant pot Tuscan chicken

STEP 1. Cut chicken breast in half lengthwise pat dry with paper towel; season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

STEP 2. Turn the pressure cooker on the saute setting. Add olive oil; when it is hot (when the screen read HOT), place the chicken breast and cook until golden brown on both sides 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside.

STEP 3. Saute minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, for 2 minutes. Add chicken broth or stock to deglaze the pot; add chicken breast, artichokes hearts, and capers.

STEP 4. Place the lid on the pot and lock it in place. Turn the steam release knob to the Sealing position.

Cancel the Sauté setting and then press the Pressure Cook/Manual button (or dial) and the + or - button (or dial) to choose 1 minute. The pot will take a few minutes to build up the pressure before the timer starts. **see notes**

STEP 5. When the cooking cycle has finished, let the pot sit undisturbed for 10 minutes. Then do a Quick Release of the pressure by turning the knob towards the Venting position. When the pin in the lid drops down, you can open the lid facing away from you.

STEP 6. Remove the chicken from the inner pot. Press the saute button again, stir in coconut milk and paprika; add the spinach cook until the spinach is wilted, return chicken into the pot and let the sauce reduce to your desired consistency taste for salt and pepper. 

STEP 7. Serve with a side of your choice. (some options down below in this post) 

Recipe notes:

• If you decide to make the recipe with 4 smalls chicken breasts, the cooking time should be 3 minutes. 
• If you decide to make the recipe with 4 medium chicken breasts, the cooking time should be 8 minutes.
• And if you want to cook whole large chicken breasts, the cooking time should be around 15 minutes.
• You want to make the recipe with frozen chicken, double the pressure cooking time to make sure the chicken is fully cooked. Otherwise, the chicken will be raw in the middle.

Is instant pot Tuscan chicken healthy

To make this recipe, you're going to use the ingredients you feel comfortable putting in your food. I love coconut milk for creamy sauces instead of heavy cream.

If you don't like the flavor of coconut in your sauces, you can do heavy cream; when I use heavy cream, I always go for organic as I do for other kinds of dairy products.

If you’re thinking about getting a replacement or want another instant pot I recommend you to get an ultra, with this instant pot you don’t need to remember to turn to seal, you can make yogurt. With the ultra setting, you can control the temperature of the water, perfect for sous vide, and is compatible with the air fryer lid, which I love too.
