The addition of chicken to this classic salad originating on the island of Capri adds yet another delicious element to this already fresh salad. Representing the colors of the Italian flag—green (fresh basil), white (mozzarella), and red (tomatoes)—this dish is best enjoyed with a fine glass of Italian vino!

INSTRUCTIONS

In the Instant Pot®, add chicken and tomatoes. Lock lid.
Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button and adjust time to 5 minutes. When timer beeps, let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Quick-release any additional pressure until float valve drops. Unlock lid. Check chicken using a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature is at least 165°F.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken and tomatoes to four bowls. Season with salt and pepper. Add mozzarella halves. Drizzle with oil and balsamic vinegar. Garnish with basil. Serve immediately.
