Instructions
1
Brown the Chicken
Start by turning on your Instant Pot and setting it to the sauté mode. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, herbs, salt, pepper, and garlic. Coat the chicken pieces in this mixture, shaking off any extra flour. Add the olive oil and butter to the pot and let the butter melt. Brown the chicken in batches, about 3 minutes on each side, then set it aside on a plate.
2
Saut Peppers and Garlic
Next, toss the bell pepper and garlic into the pot and cook until they’re soft, which should take around 2 minutes. Transfer them to a small heatproof bowl. Pour the pasta into the bottom of the pot, then add the heavy cream and chicken broth. Give it a gentle stir so the pasta is coated but try not to disturb it too much.
3
Steam Chicken and Peppers
Place the steamer rack inside the pot and put the chicken on top. Nestle the bowl of peppers next to the chicken. Close the lid, lock it, and set the pot to high pressure for 7 minutes. It’ll take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.
4
Release Pressure and Remove
Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about 15 minutes, then carefully do a quick release to get rid of any remaining pressure. Take out the chicken, peppers, and rack.
5
Wilt Spinach in Wine
Switch the pot back to sauté mode and pour in the white wine. Add the spinach and cook, stirring until the spinach wilts, which should only take a few minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it melts into the sauce. The sauce will thicken a bit as it cools. Serve everything together right away and enjoy!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This dish is full of rich, comforting flavors with minimal effort. The combination of garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and creamy sauce makes it a family favorite. Using the Instant Pot® speeds up cooking time without sacrificing taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a simple pasta to soak up the delicious sauce. A fresh green salad on the side adds a nice crunch and balance to the meal.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the sauce creamy and the chicken moist.
