A quick and easy pressure cooker recipe featuring tender chicken breasts in a creamy garlic and sun-dried tomato sauce, perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs / 680 g)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (preferably packed in oil)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (240 ml)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (120 ml)
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (about 60 g), optional

Instructions

  1. Mince the garlic, chop the sun-dried tomatoes, and grate the Parmesan cheese. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  2. Set your pressure cooker to the sauté function and heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once shimmering, add chicken breasts and brown for about 3 minutes per side until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Pour in 1 cup chicken broth and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.
  5. Nestle the chicken breasts back into the sauce. Lock the lid in place, seal the vent, and set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 8 minutes.
  6. After natural pressure release (about 10 minutes), carefully open the lid. Remove chicken to a plate and stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  7. Stir in fresh spinach leaves until wilted in the warm sauce. Return chicken to pot to coat with sauce before serving.

Notes

Searing the chicken before pressure cooking locks in flavor and texture. Use natural pressure release to keep chicken tender. Stir cream and cheese in off heat or low sauté to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thin, simmer on sauté mode to thicken before adding cream and cheese. Fresh garlic is preferred over pre-minced for best flavor.
