I received an Instant Pot for Christmas and immediately thought it was cool. I had heard about them in podcasts that I listen to, but then I wondered if I would really use it. Yes! I love it. It reduces cooking time, and everything is super tender and flavorful. I am a fan! This Instant Pot Greek chicken recipe was done in no time!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil

  • 6 cloves roasted garlic, mashed

  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts

  • 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning, or more to taste

  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 (8 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained

  • 1 cup sliced Kalamata olives

  • ½ medium red onion, sliced

  • ½ (16 fl oz) bottle Greek salad dressing

  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch, or as needed

  • 1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese (Optional)

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add oil and roasted garlic to the pot; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Season one side of chicken breasts with 1/2 each garlic and herb seasoning, garlic salt, and black pepper. Place breasts into the pot, seasoned-side down. Cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Season top side breasts with remaining 1/2 each garlic and herb seasoning, garlic salt, and black pepper. Flip and cook until other side is browned, about 2 minutes.

  3. Arrange artichoke hearts and olives around chicken breasts in the pot, filling in any gaps on bottom and top of breasts; top with red onion. Pour dressing over chicken breasts.

  4. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  5. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

  6. Remove chicken breasts from the pot. Whisk arrowroot starch into the liquid in the pot until combined. Return breasts to the pot. Allow sauce to thicken, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper; top with feta cheese.
