How to make Creamy Sun-dried Tomato Chicken in an Instant Pot
Here are the ingredients we will need for this easy recipe:
- Chicken breast or thighs
- Italian seasoning
- Butter
- Garlic cloves
- Chicken broth or white wine
- Arrowroot starch (can use xanthan gum for the Keto option)
- Marinated sun dried tomatoes
- Heavy cream
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Baby spinach leaves
Start by selecting the stir-fry function on the Instant Pot. Season the chicken with sea salt and Italian seasoning. Melt the butter, then sauté the chicken for a few minutes, turn it over, then add the garlic.
Pour the wine into the bottom of the pot to burn. This will also help prevent signal burn out! Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Use quick release. Remove the chicken and shred with a fork.
Choose stir fry again. Mix the cornstarch with the heavy cream, and pour it into a saucepan. Stir in parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Add the chicken back in and keep stirring until it thickens!
Serve and Store
Serve over pasta, rice or cauliflower rice. You can add extra parmesan cheese and even fresh basil! For a full meal, I like to serve it with my house salad.
This recipe keeps well in the fridge for up to 1 week and makes great leftovers.
Can this be made in a Slow Cooker?
Very! You can sauté the chicken on the stove before placing it in the slow cooker, but this step is not necessary. Add the wine, chicken and sun-dried tomatoes to the slow cooker and cook over low heat for 6 hours. Shred the chicken and mix the arrowroot flour with the cream. Pour into the slow cooker with the spinach. Let slow cook for another 30 minutes to 1 hour more. Then stir in the parmesan cheese and serve!
