Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts in half and pound so they are even.
Add the chicken, Italian seasoning, salt and garlic to a mixing bowl. Massage marinade into the chicken. (see note)
Select Sauté or Browning on your pressure cooker and allow to heat.
When hot, add oil and place the chicken into pressure cooker cooking pot.
Brown the pieces of chicken for 10 seconds on each side.
Pour in chicken broth, cream and seasoned salt. Quickly deglaze the cooking pot, making sure nothing is stuck on the bottom of the pot.
Lock on Lid and close Pressure Valve. Cook at High Pressure for 1 minute. When Beep sounds, wait 2 minutes and then carefully release the rest of the pressure.
Select Sauté/Browning on your pressure cooker and bring to slow simmer. Mix in cheese and sun dried tomatoes. Simmer to thicken sauce, if desired. Stir in spinach right before serving.
Enjoy over zoodles or pasta. (See notes on how to cook pasta at the same time.)
Recipe Notes
If you like Mushrooms, add 6 ounces of Cremini Mushrooms to the cooking pot after adding in the Chicken Broth.
*For a creamier sauce, add 2 Tablespoons of cream cheese when you add the cream.
For extra sauce, simple double the seasonings, liquids and Parmesan cheese.
To make this a Tuscan Chicken Pasta Dish, double all seasonings, add two cups of chicken broth and 8 ounces of pasta prior to setting pressure cook time. Reduce cook time to two minutes.
Tips and Tricks for Instant Pot Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken.
Allow the Chicken to marinate for 10 minutes.
Make sure your cooking pot is screaming hot.
Only sear for a couple of seconds on each side.
Use heavy cream, as anything with less fat, will break during cooking.
Fresh spinach is best.
Optional Step for a Thicker Sauce
Before placing chicken into pot for a quick sear, dredge through coconut flour or potato starch.
