Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 4 medium potatoes, cut in half
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons basil pesto
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Push the saute button on the Instant Pot. When the Instant Pot says "hot", add the oil.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot and sear, about 3 minutes each side, until it releases easily from the pan.
  • Add chicken broth and potatoes to Instant Pot and sprinkle with salt (if desired).
  • Put the lid on, turn valve to sealing, and select Manual or Pressure Cook for 7 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to build pressure and begin counting down.
  • Once the cook time is done, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes and then open the valve to venting.
  • Stir in pesto and Parmesan and stir to coat. Serve with a side salad.
