Instant Pot Creamy Tuscan Chicken

This recipe for creamy Tuscan chicken is made in the Instant Pot and it’s ready to eat in about 30 minutes! The sauce is amazingly flavorful and the chicken is very tender.

By sauteing the chicken in the Instant Pot first, it gives the outside of the chicken a crispy texture, and by just browning it doesn’t cook the inside of the chicken too fast.

I use thinly sliced chicken breasts for this recipe. If I don’t have thinly sliced breasts on hand, I butterfly the breasts by slicing down the middle opening the breasts, and laying it flat. If necessary, I use a meat tenderizer to flatten the chicken furthermore.

Tender Chicken in the Instant Pot

I think one of the biggest complaints I hear is that chicken in the Instant Pot comes out tough or chewy. Most likely the reason is that the pressure cooker didn’t naturally release because a quick-release was performed.

By doing a quick release, it actually sucks out the moisture in meats creating a tough, chewy, and sometimes flavorless protein. When making meats in the Instant Pot- allow it to naturally release, it makes a huge difference!

Side Dishes

You can serve this creamy Tuscan chicken with pasta or without. Sides that go well with this delicious main dish are mashed potatoes, quinoa, roasted vegetables, or serve it with a salad!
