Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan is a breaded chicken breast sitting on top of perfectly cooked pasta smothered in red pasta sauce. The chicken is moist, juicy and tender. This Chicken Parmesan recipe will blow your mind. This is restaurant quality Chicken Parmesan, all cooked at the same time in one pot (besides a quick sear on the stovetop!) all done in 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Pasta

1/2 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/4 cup Shredded parmesan cheese
24 oz. Jar red pasta sauce, divided
1/2 pound Linguine pasta, broken into thirds
1 tsp. Garlic powder
1 tbsp. Dried minced onion
2 1/2 cups Chicken broth

2 tsp. Butter
1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
1/4 tsp. Basil
1/8 tsp. Pepper
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/4 cup Grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Flour
1 Egg
2 Small/medium chicken breasts

Method

01

Chicken Breading and Browning: Pound Chicken breasts until, at the most, 1 inch thick. I like to pound the chicken with my rolling pin in a large zip-top bag. Add the egg into the baggie. Smush around the egg and chicken until it is completely covered. In a second zip-top bag, add the flour, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, basil, and garlic powder. Transfer the chicken from the egg baggie to the breading baggie. Zip the top and shake to cover the chicken in the breading. Heat the butter in a frying pan on the stovetop*. Brown each side of the chicken breast until crispy and golden. Set aside.
02

Adding Ingredients to the Instant Pot: Add the chicken broth, minced onion and garlic powder to the liner of the Instant Pot. Break the linguine in thirds before adding to the Instant Pot. Add in varying directions spread around the liner. Pour half of the red pasta sauce gently on top of the pasta to create a little 'bed' for the chicken to sit in. Add the chicken to the pot. Set it on the pasta sauce. Pour the remaining pasta sauce over the chicken. Cook on Manual HIGH for 6 minutes. Allow for a 6 minute NPR before releasing the pressure manually. Carefully remove the chicken. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese and let rest. Stir the pasta in the Instant Pot. If there are some clumps, stirring will break them apart easily. Add in the parmesan and remaining mozzarella cheese until it has melted into the sauce. Slice the chicken and serve the chicken on top of the pasta.
