With minimal ingredients, you can transform a boring chicken breast into a delight! Whenever I make bruschetta as an appetizer, I always have leftover tomato mixture. This is a perfect way to use it up!

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Pour water into Instant Pot® and add the trivet.
  2. Place chicken on the trivet, then season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Close the lid; turn the knob to Sealing.
  4. Press Manual or Pressure Cook button and adjust time to 15 minutes.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare Bruschetta. In a small bowl, mix together all Bruschetta ingredients. Let chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.
  6. When the timer beeps, allow 5 minutes to naturally release the pressure, then remove the lid. Place mozzarella slices on top of chicken and replace the lid. Let sit 5 minutes with lid on to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
  7. Remove to a serving plate and top with Bruschetta. Serve immediately.
