Instant Pot Italian Chicken Breasts

Chicken is that *one* food that is constantly in my freezer. It’s a go-to food in my meal prep routine simply because it is insanely versatile and tastes delicious in a million different ways.

We have a bunch of different chicken recipes on our site. We even did a whole round up post of some of our favorites. If chicken is your jam too, be sure to bookmark that one.

And then add this one to your recipe collection. It’s literally one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made. It takes just around 10 minutes and the chicken is flavorful and -most importantly – juicy.

No one likes their chicken dry and flavorless, right?

The best way to serve this chicken is right alongside your favorite veggies. Throw some sweet potato fries or a beautifully roasted squash drizzled in coconut oil alongside it for a complete meal with protein, healthy fats, and carbs.

Yum yum.
