Instant Pot Chicken with Mushroom Sauce
Description
The recipe starts by seasoning chicken breasts and coating them in a flour mixture seasoned with salt and pepper. The chicken is browned in the Instant Pot using sauté mode with olive oil to create a flavorful crust. After removing the chicken, butter and sliced button mushrooms are sautéed until softened. Garlic and Italian seasoning are then added to build aroma. The chicken breasts are returned to the pot along with chicken broth, sealed, and pressure cooked for 10 minutes, ensuring tender, well-cooked meat.
Following pressure cooking, the pot is carefully vented. The chicken is removed to keep warm. Heavy cream is added to the remaining liquid in the pot, and sauté mode is used to simmer and thicken the sauce slightly. Fresh parsley finishes the dish with a touch of herbaceous note. The combination produces a creamy mushroom sauce with tender chicken breast, suitable as a main course served with sides of choice.
