Diamond Club Chicken–chicken tenderloins with bacon, cream cheese, mushrooms and parmesan made in the Instant Pot.

Diamond Club Chicken
This fancy-ish chicken dish will make you feel like you are a VIP! With bacon, parmesan and cream cheese it is hard to go wrong, in my opinion. I served this over brown rice but I think next time I will serve it over mashed potatoes. You can add in tomatoes or keep them out, it’s up to you.
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Bacon
- Onion
- Mushrooms
- Chicken broth–or water and Better than Bouillon
- White wine vinegar–or white vinegar
- Chicken tenderloins–frozen or fresh
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Cream cheese
- Diced tomatoes–optional
- Cornstarch
- Parmesan cheese
Steps
Turn Instant Pot to saute setting (“more”). When display says HOT add in the bacon and cook it until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to place the bacon on a paper towel lined plate and set aside.

Discard all but 2 Tbsp of the bacon grease. Then add in the onion and mushrooms and saute for 4 minutes.

Pour in the broth and vinegar and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.

Add in the chicken and sprinkle it with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place cream cheese on top of chicken. If using tomatoes, add them in.

Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 3 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.

Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. In a small bowl stir together 2 Tbsp of cornstarch with 2 Tbsp of cold water until smooth. Stir the mixture into the pot to thicken the sauce.

Spoon chicken and some sauce onto plates and top with the bacon crumbles and some parmesan cheese.


Notes/Tips
- Serve the chicken and sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, cauliflower rice or naan bread.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
- You can also use chicken thighs or chicken breasts. Increase pressure cooking time to 10 minutes for fresh or 12 minutes for frozen with a 10 minute natural pressure release.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Other recipes you can make with mushrooms are Instant Pot Cajun Sausage, Potatoes And Green Beans and Instant Pot Garlic Mushroom Chicken.
- This recipe is gluten free.

Could you PLEASE include the slow cooker version on all your instapot recipes like you used to?
May of us do not have Instapots or don’t enjoy the flavor of the food cooked in them and would prefer to make them in a slow cooker while going about our days. And I seem to always see in the comments questions about can it be made in a slower cooker or how to go about it.
I think your recipes are fantastic and I could probably experiment with converting it to a slow cooker recipe. But if the experiment fails, with groceries being so costly now a days, it is hard to have to feed the experiment to my K-9 kids because it didn’t turn out.
Thank you in advance for taking this into consideration. One of your many recipe fans.
Another winner! Everyone loved it! Thank you!
Thanks Renee!
I put the ingredients from step 3 and 4 in crockpot on low for 6 hours, continued with remainder of steps to finish recipe and serve
Please tell if this can be made in a crockpot.
It sounds so delicious.
Thank you
can it be May in crockpot would love to try this.
I have the same question as the one posted above. Can this recipe be made in a crockpot? It looks delicious & I’d love to try it, but I don’t have an InstaPot either. Thanks….
Is there a way to make this in a slow cooker? I haven’t quite made it into the 21st century in a couple of areas of my life, so I don’t actually own an instant pot. 😟
This sounds incredible, and I really want to try it out before I’m able to afford an instant pot. 😋
