Instant Pot Mediterranean Chicken
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 6 cloves roasted garlic, mashed
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning, or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (8 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained
  • 1 cup sliced Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 medium red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 (16 fl oz) bottle Greek salad dressing
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch, or as needed
  • 1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
1
Activate the sauté mode on your pressure cooker, a versatile kitchen appliance.
2
Add oil and minced roasted garlic to the pot; stir constantly until aromatic, approximately 1 minute.
3
Sprinkle a portion of the garlic and herb blend, garlic salt, and black pepper onto one side of chicken breasts. Place the seasoned chicken in the pot, with the seasoned side facing downwards. Sear until browned, roughly 2 minutes.
4
Sprinkle the remaining garlic and herb blend, garlic salt, and black pepper onto the top of the chicken. Flip the chicken over and cook until the other side is browned, approximately 2 minutes.
5
Arrange artichoke hearts and pitted olives around the chicken in the pot, filling any gaps on the bottom or top of the chicken. Place sliced red onion atop the chicken. Pour the dressing over the chicken.
6
Close and secure the lid on your pressure cooker. Set the high-pressure mode according to the manufacturer's guidelines; set a 15-minute timer. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build.
7
Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, as instructed by the manufacturer; this process should take about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid from your pressure cooker.
8
Take the chicken out of the pot. Add arrowroot starch to the liquid in the pot and whisk until well combined. Return the chicken to the pot. Allow the sauce to thicken, roughly 3 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper, then top with crumbled feta cheese.
