Ingredients

  • 4 chicken cutlets 2 large skinless boneless chicken breast cut in half horizontally and pounded
  • ¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 24 ounces (680g) marinara sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ cup (45g) grated parmesan
  • 1 ½ cups (337g) grated mozzarella
  • parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breast on both sides with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
  • Add half the marina sauce and the garlic to the Instant Pot insert and and mix.
  • Place the seasoned chicken on top, then cover with the remaining marinara.
  • Cover and seal your Instant Pot, set to high pressure, pressure cook (or manual) for 3 minutes.
  • Once done, perform a quick pressure release (QPR).
  • Open the lid and sprinkle on the parmesan and mozzarella. Place the lid back on for a few minutes so the cheese melts.
  • Sprinkle on parsley and serve over pasta or mashed potatoes.

Notes

 

  • Get thinner cutlets when you pound the cut chicken breast with a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
  • If your chicken is relatively thick, you may want to brown the chicken slightly using your Instant Pot’s saute function.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Chicken should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 165F /74C.
  • There are 8 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
