Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 lbs. chicken breasts butterflied
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 10 oz. baby Portobello mushrooms sliced
  • ½ cup chicken broth preferably organic
  • ¾ cup fat free half and half
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Combine garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder in a small bowl and stir to combine. Rub spice mixture into each butterflied chicken breast and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • Select the “Sauté” function on the Instant Pot® and add one tablespoon olive oil once hot. Add seasoned chicken breasts and brown on each side, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. (Work in batches, if necessary, adding more olive oil as necessary). Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Add remaining olive oil to Instant Pot®, along with sliced Portobello mushrooms. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms develop a nice golden brown color, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  • Pour in chicken broth and gently deglaze the bottom of the pot, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon in the process.
  • Turn unit off and return chicken to the pot. Add lid and lock into place. Position the vent to “Sealing” and set the “Manual” setting to 3 minutes.
  • When cook time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
  • To prevent curdling, temper the heavy cream by adding a small amount of the hot cooking liquid to it before stirring it directly into the pot. Stir to combine.
  • Serve immediately with some of the creamy sauce spooned over the chicken and mushrooms. Enjoy!
