Instant Pot Parmesan Ranch Chicken And Potatoes Food

HEALTHY INSTANT POT CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Turn the Instant Pot® to the low saute setting (see Cook's Note). Add the oil and heat until it is shimmering but not smoking. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions just begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper then turn the pot off.
• Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with the Italian seasoning, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and nestle them into the sauce, overlapping just slightly if needed. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook, on high, for 2 minutes.
• After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid and turn the Instant Pot® off.
• Use tongs to reposition the chicken on top of the sauce if they have sunk. Sprinkle the tops of each cutlet with the Parmesan then place the mozzarella on top, tearing the cheese in half if needed to better cover the chicken. Place the lid back on and let sit until the cheese has melted, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Spoon the chicken and sauce onto a plate or platter and garnish with the basil.

INSTANT POT PARMESAN RANCH CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Add chicken and potatoes to Instant Pot and drizzle with olive oil. Toss chicken and potatoes until they are coated with oil.
• In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, basil, oregano, and half of the dry ranch dressing mix. Sprinkle seasonings over chicken and potatoes, then toss gently to coat.
• Pour chicken broth into the Instant Pot (try to pour it to the sides of the chicken and potatoes so that you don't rinse off the seasonings).
• Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and set the valve on top to sealing. Press the "MANUAL" button and set the timer for 16 minutes.
• Remember that it will take 10-15 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure, so be sure to plan accordingly!
• When the Instant Pot is finished cooking, do a "quick release" of the pressure. Remove the chicken and potatoes to a large bowl or serving platter.
• In another small bowl, mix together remaining ranch dressing mix, Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Drizzle butter/seasoning mix over the chicken and serve.
