We know having the time to make a great meal for the family is not something we all have. So we aim to help you with some easy, but great meals everyone will love. This one is a meal you can make by throwing this in an instant pot cooker. What you have to love is, you put it in and let it be. Serve the chicken with whole-grain pasta, zoodles or steamed vegetables if you like. This one comes from the good people at Food Network and I’m sure you will love it too.
Ingredients
Directions
- Turn the Instant Pot® to the low saute setting (see Cook’s Note). Add the oil and heat until it is shimmering but not smoking. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions just begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper then turn the pot off.
- Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with the Italian seasoning, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and nestle them into the sauce, overlapping just slightly if needed. Follow the manufacturer’s guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook, on high, for 2 minutes.
- After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer’s guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid and turn the Instant Pot® off.
- Use tongs to reposition the chicken on top of the sauce if they have sunk. Sprinkle the tops of each cutlet with the Parmesan then place the mozzarella on top, tearing the cheese in half if needed to better cover the chicken. Place the lid back on and let sit until the cheese has melted, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Spoon the chicken and sauce onto a plate or platter and garnish with the basil.
