Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 medium zucchini (chopped)
  • 1 cup organic flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened )
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 cup marianara sauce (plus more for topping)
  • 1 cup goat mozzarella or fresh mozzerella
  • fresh parsley or basil for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish combine the flour, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and salt & pepper.
  2. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and almond milk.
  3. Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then coat it in the flour mixture.
  4. Turn the instant pot to the saute setting and add the avocado oil to the inner pot. Set the timer for 10 minutes on medium heat.
  5. Then, saute each chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side or until it starts to brown. You will need to do this in 2 batches.
  6. Once complete, set the chicken aside.
  7. Scrape the bottom of the pot of any chicken remains and stir in the marinara sauce (keep the remains in for extra flavor).
  8. Then, add the chopped zucchini and bell pepper.
  9. Lastly, place the chicken breast on top of the sauce mixture (it is okay if some are overlapping each other).
  10. Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes before quick releasing the remaining pressure.
  11. Once done, remove the lid and add your cheese and let it melt before serving & enjoy!
  12. Any leftover chicken parmesan can be stored in the refrigerator for 4 days in an airtight container.
