Ingredients
  

  • tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 4 tablespoon Garlic minced
  • 1 Cup Chicken Stock
  • 2 Chicken Breasts

Ingredients For The Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • ⅛ Cup Parmesan Cheese Freshly Grated
  • ¾ Cup Heavy Cream

Instructions
 

  • Add to your instant pot your Italian seasoning, Red pepper flakes, minced garlic, and chicken stock. Whisk together.
  • Add your chicken breasts To your instant pot. Coat them in the stock mixture, and then flip to the other side so that they are evenly covered.
  • Close the lid on your Insta pot and close the ceiling valve. Set your instant pot on high pressure for 12 minutes. Once the timer is done, do a quick release by bringing the sealing valve towards you.
  • Remove your chicken. Set aside.
  • Turn your instant pot on to sauté mode. Allow it to heat up which should take about two minutes. Add in the rest of your ingredients: heavy cream, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Allow the sauce to reduce and simmer for about seven minutes.
  • Serve your chicken, and use the sauce to pour over each breast. Add more or less to your liking. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Zest and Juice Balance: To achieve a vibrant lemon flavor, balance the use of both lemon zest and juice. Add freshly grated lemon zest for a burst of citrus aroma and use freshly squeezed lemon juice for a bright and tangy taste.
  • Cream Addition Timing: To prevent curdling, add the cream towards the end of the cooking process. Once the chicken is cooked through, stir in the cream and let it heat through without boiling to maintain a smooth and luscious texture in your creamy lemon chicken breast.
