Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a simple, flavorful dish that combines chicken, spinach, garlic, and Parmesan in a creamy sauce!
Fun fact, last year on Amazon Prime day, over 300,000 Instant Pot’s were sold! Crazy, right? I admit, I was one of the 300,000 and since then, I have even added an additional one my collection. Did you purchase one that day too?? I can’t remember the price I paid, but at the time, I remember it was quite the deal!
In fact, I fell in love with mine so much, that I even bought one for my mom for Christmas. She had heard me raving about mine for months and was still on the fence. I gave her the push by purchasing one for her and since then, she uses it weekly! She sends her favorite recipes my way to add to the blog, so check out the collection we’ve built here, https://thecookinchicks.com/tag/instant-pot/
A few nights ago, she 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!
The leftovers reheat perfectly, so you can even change it up and serve one night over pasta, the next night on its own!
