Garlic butter chicken bites in a lemon cream sauce made fast in your Instant Pot.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp dried parsley
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 3 Tbsp heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Trim off excess fat from the chicken. Cut the chicken thighs into cubes. Place the chicken in a airtight container with a lid. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley and olive oil in with the chicken. Cover the container and shake until chicken is all coated in the seasonings. Set aside.
- Turn Instant Pot to saute “normal” setting. When display says hot add in the butter and let it melt. Add in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Pour in the lemon juice and broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
- Dump in the chicken. 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 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
- In a small bowl stir together the cream and cornstarch until smooth, add in a little bit of water if needed to thin it out. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. Stir in the slurry to thicken the sauce. Once thickened, turn off the pot.
- Serve chicken and sauce and enjoy! Top with a bit of parmesan cheese, if desired.
