    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!

    Equipment

    • Instant Pot
    • Non Stick Instant Pot Liner
    • Garlic Press

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoon butter
    • 1 onion, diced
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 1/2 cup chicken broth
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 8 oz mushrooms
    • 2 chicken bouillon cubes
    • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into strips)
    • 1 cup half and half
    • 2 tablespoon flour
    • 1 cup Parmesan cheese
    • 6 oz spinach, chopped

    Instructions

    • Turn the sauté function on your Instant Pot. Once it reads HOT, add in the butter.
    • Once butter is melted, add in the onion and cook for about 3 minutes.
    • Add in the garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds.
    • Stir in the chicken broth, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and mushrooms, bouillon cubes, and chicken.
    • Turn off the sauté function and place lid securely on top. Ensure the valve is in sealing position.
    • Cook manual, high pressure, for 6 minutes, followed by a natural pressure release for 10 minutes.
    • Once time is up, do a quick release to remove any additional pressure.
    • 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.
    • Whisk the mixture into the Instant Pot as this will help thicken the sauce.
    • Add in the Parmesan cheese and spinach, seasoning with additional salt/pepper if desired.
    • Turn off the Instant Pot and serve chicken with sauce either over pasta, mashed potatoes, or on its own! Enjoy!
