Makes 8 servings
Ingredients
2 Tbsp butter
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 lb. chicken tenderloins
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups spinach, loosely packed
1/2 cup shaved parmesan cheese
How to Make It
- Turn on the Saute feature of the Instant Pot. Once warm, add in the butter, diced onions, and minced garlic cloves. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add in the chicken tenderloins.
- Cook on high pressure (Manual or Pressure Cook) for 7 minutes.
- When the timer goes off, let the Instant Pot naturally depressurize for 10 minutes. Then release the rest of the pressure.
- Remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Switch the Instant Pot back to the Saute feature and add in the heavy cream and the shaved parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has completely melted and mixed in.
- Add in the spinach and cook for one more minute.
- Place the chicken back in the Instant Pot. Coat the chicken with cheese sauce, then serve.
