By:

Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 large onion
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 3 1/2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 6 oz fresh mozzarella “pearls”
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil
Instructions
  • Add olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
  • When oil gets hot, add onion to the pot and saute until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  • Add broth to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Add chicken in an even layer. Add tomatoes in an even layer. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and crushed red pepper (optional). Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  • Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- buttons and program the Instant Pot for 12 minutes.
  • When the time is up, quick-release the pressure. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and basil over the chicken, then cover 4-5 minutes until cheese melts.
  • Serve over zoodles, quinoa, brown rice or polenta.
Notes
  • *The MANUAL and PRESSURE COOK buttons are interchangeable.
