Slice horizontally into one side of the chicken breast. Don't cut it all the way through to the other side. Leave roughly 1-inch attached. Open up the chicken breast, then slice it a bit more if necessary.Then, prepare the remaining ingredients accordingly.
- Brown Chicken Breasts in Instant Pot: Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. Place ¼ cup (32g) all-purpose flour in a large bowl or plate. Lightly coat the chicken breasts with flour on both sides.Press "Saute" button to "Sauté More" function to heat up Instant Pot. Wait until it says "HOT" on the screen. Add 1½ tbsp (22.5ml) olive oil in Instant Pot. Make sure you cover the whole bottom with oil. Place the flour coated chicken breasts in Instant Pot. Then, brown each side for 3 minutes. Set aside the browned chicken breasts.
- Saute Mushrooms & Shallot: Melt 1½ tbsp to 2 tbsp (21g - 28g) unsalted butter in the Instant Pot. Add in sliced mushrooms, then saute until lightly brown (roughly 7 to 8 minutes). Add in diced shallot and 1 tbsp (15ml) regular soy sauce, then saute for another 2 minutes. Add in minced garlic, then saute for another 30 to 45 seconds until fragrant.
- Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour ½ cup (125ml) Marsala wine in Instant Pot. Then, deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Give it a quick mix. Let the mixture come to a boil, then let it boil for 1 minute to allow the alcohol in Marsala wine to evaporate.
- Pressure Cook Marsala Chicken: Add ¾ cup (188ml) unsalted chicken stock in Instant Pot. Give it a quick mix. Add in the browned chicken breasts.*Pro Tip: Try to get the browned chicken breasts as close to the bottom of the inner pot as possible. So they're partially submerged in the cooking liquid.With Venting Knob in Venting Position. Close the lid. Then, turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position.Butterflied Chicken Breast: Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 3 minutes, then Natural Release for 10 minutesBoneless & Skinless Chicken Breast: Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 5 minutes, then Natural Release for 10 minutesBoneless & Skinless Chicken Thighs: Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 5 minutes, then Natural Release for 10 minutesAfter 10 minutes, release the remaining pressure by turning Venting Knob to Venting Position.

- Add Heavy Cream: With kitchen tongs, place chicken on a serving plate. Bring the Marsala gravy to a simmer with the “Saute” function. Mix 2 tbsp (16g) all-purpose flour with ¼ cup (63ml) heavy cream. Mix heavy cream and flour mixture into the Marsala gravy one third at a time until your desired thickness.*Pro Tip: If the heavy cream and flour mixture is too thick, dilute it by adding some Marsala gravy into it first.Taste and adjust the Marsala gravy with more salt and black pepper. Turn off the heat or switch to Keep Warm mode.
