Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 chicken cutlets
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp each salt & pepper
  • 1 (680mL) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish

To serve

  • 1/2 lb spaghetti

Instructions

  • Rub chicken cutlets in olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt & pepper. Pour marinara sauce in bottom of Instant Pot. Place chicken overtop of sauce.
  • Place lid on Instant Pot and make sure valve is set to seal. Press the pressure cook button and set to high, then cook for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, if serving with chicken, boil spaghetti in a pot on the stove while chicken is cooking in Instant Pot.
  • The Instant Pot will take about 5-10 minutes to come to pressure, then notify you it's done by beeping. Press the Cancel button then do a quick release of the pressure on the Instant Pot by flicking the switch at the top with a spoon. Open the lid when pressure gauge has dropped and the lid opens easily.
  • Spoon extra sauce overtop of chicken, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese overtop of chicken. Replace lid on the Instant Pot and let sit for 5 minutes until cheese is melted. Alternatively, you can broil chicken in the oven for 2 minutes. Serve with spaghetti and enjoy!

Notes

NOTE: Nutritional info is for chicken and spaghetti together.
Serve with a side of broccoli, carrots, green beans or a salad with homemade dressing.
Make this dish gluten-free by serving it with gluten-free pasta or zucchini noodles instead of spaghetti.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 325° F.
Freeze this chicken parmesan without the cheese for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then add on the cheese when reheating.
