Instant Pot Creamy Tomato Chicken

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the 4 seasonings for chicken. Add chicken breasts to seasoning and toss until all chicken is coated.

Step 2

Turn on the Instant Pot to SAUTE.

Step 3

Once the pot is hot enough, add 1 teaspoon butter and oil.

Step 4

Place the seasoned chicken in the Instant Pot and let it brown for 2 minutes. Flip the chicken and let it brown for another 2 minutes. Remove the chicken and keep aside.

Step 5

Add rest of the butter to the pot, followed by chopped onion and garlic. Saute onion and garlic for about 1-2 minutes, until it has softened and not smelling raw anymore.

Step 6

De-glaze the pan with vinegar. Scrape the bottom of the pot well to release any stuck brown bits (and to prevent getting the BURN notification).

Step 7

Add tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper to the pot. Stir well.

Step 8

Place the browned chicken in a single layer in the Instant Pot. Cover the pot with the lid. Cancel SAUTE mode and switch to MANUAL mode. Cook on high (full pressure) for 5 mins.

Step 9

Let the pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE for 10 minutes. Then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.

Step 10

Switch back to SAUTE mode. Stir in the cream and mix everything well to coat the chicken with the sauce.

Step 11

Once the sauce looks creamy and chicken is coated well, turn off the pot.

Step 12

Serve the chicken topped with the creamy tomato sauce. Serve over your favorite pasta.
