I really liked this recipe. And it was easy to put together. (love my Instant Pot!)
Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan
Chicken Breast and breading ingredients
4 small chicken breast filets (or 2 regular sized cut in half)
1 egg
¼ cup flour
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese (the kind in the green can)
¼ tsp. salt
⅛ tsp. pepper
¼ tsp. basil
½ tsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. butter
Pasta ingredients
2 ½ cups chicken broth
1 Tbsp. dried minced onion
1 tsp. garlic powder
½ pound linguine pasta broken into thirds
24 oz. jar marinara sauce or spaghetti sauce of your choice
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Instructions
Put egg into a ziplock bag and smush around to mix it up. Add the chicken and toss to coat with the egg. In a second ziplock bag, add the flour, parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Transfer the egg coated chicken from the first ziplock bag to the second and shake to cover the chicken in the breading.
Heat the butter in the Instant Pot on Saute. Brown each side of the chicken breasts until golden and crispy. Set chicken aside on a plate.
Add the chicken broth to the Instant Pot along with the minced onion and garlic powder. Stir well with a spoon to deglaze the pan - making sure to scrape up any of the darkened places from the browned chicken. Press Cancel.
Break the linguine in thirds and add to the Instant Pot. Add in a crisscross fashion. Pour half of the marinara sauce over the pasta to create a bed to place the chicken on. Add chicken to the pot and then pour the rest of the marinara sauce over top of the chicken.
Put lid securely on IP and turn vent to seal. Cook on Manual High Pressure for 6 minutes. Allow for a 6 minute natural pressure release, then release any remaining pressure manually.
Remove the chicken to a plate and sprinkle with ¼ cup of the mozzarella cheese. Let it rest so the cheese will melt.
Stir the pasta in the Instant Pot and add the Parmesan and remaining Mozzarella cheese. Stir to break up any clumps and to allow the cheese to melt into the pasta. Serve the chicken on top of the pasta.



I think I'm trying this tonight....I have boneless thighs in there but the principle should be the same. LOL
