Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan
Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make Italian dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. This dish is made with tender chicken breasts, crispy breadcrumbs, tangy tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Then, coat the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess. In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Dip the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
Next, turn on the Instant Pot to the sauté function and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and set aside.
Add the tomato sauce to the Instant Pot and stir to combine. Place the chicken back into the Instant Pot, spooning the tomato sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken.
Close the Instant Pot lid and set the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes before quick releasing any remaining pressure.
Serve the Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan hot with your favorite pasta or vegetables. This dish is a perfect combination of crispy, tender, and cheesy, making it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.
