Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a simple, flavorful dish that combines chicken, spinach, garlic, and Parmesan in a creamy sauce!
A few nights ago, my mom made this recipe for my dad and her. She had told me her plans to make it earlier in the day, so when I received a few pics via text that evening, I knew it had been a hit. She served hers over pasta with some buttered bread on the side, making it a full meal! If you prefer, you can serve this on its own, or even over mashed potatoes!
Tender, flavorful chicken in a creamy garlic sauce…all combined with spinach!
The leftovers reheat perfectly, so you can even change it up and serve one night over pasta, the next night on its own!

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt

- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into strips)
- 1 cup half and half
- 2 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

- Once pin has dropped, remove lid carefully.
- Carefully remove the chicken to a plate and cover/set aside.
- Turn the Instant Pot back to saute function.
- Warm the half and half in the microwave for 45 seconds.
- Whisk the flour into the warmed half and half until smooth and combined.
