Instant Pot Apricot Chicken
Description
Instant Pot Apricot Chicken brings together small chicken breasts and a sauce based on apricot preserves, salad dressing, Dijon mustard, and onion soup mix. These ingredients create a sauce that is both sweet and savory, complementing the mild chicken. By cooking the chicken under high pressure in the Instant Pot, the meat becomes tender while absorbing the sauce flavors.
The method involves placing water in the Instant Pot, adding the chicken breasts, and pouring the apricot mixture over them before sealing the lid and cooking for 15 minutes under high pressure. After a natural release and quick release sequence, the chicken is removed, and the remaining sauce in the pot is spooned over the meat to serve.
This recipe offers a straightforward way to prepare a saucy chicken dish that pairs well with rice or side vegetables, making it suitable for a weeknight meal or casual dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 small chicken breast
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 1 cup Catalina salad dressing (or Russian dressing)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 package onion soup mix dry
Instructions
- Combine apricot preserves, Catalina dressing, dijon mustard, and dry onion soup mix in a small mixing bowl.
- Put 1/3 cup water in the Instant Pot. Place chicken in the water.
- Pour apricot mixture over the top of the chicken. Place lid (make sure release tab is set to "sealing") and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
- Allow to natural release for additional 5 minutes. Quick release and remove chicken. Spoon excess sauce from the Instant Pot over the chicken before serving.
