Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup white wine (optional)

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Season the chicken breasts with the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. In the Instant Pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
3. Add the chicken broth and white wine (if using) to the Instant Pot and stir to combine. Place the chicken breasts back in the pot and make sure they are submerged in the liquid. Close the lid and make sure the valve is set to “sealing”. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
4. When the cooking time is up, carefully open the valve to release the pressure. Open the lid and remove the chicken breasts. Serve with your favorite sides and garnish with fresh parsley.

Recipe Tips
This is a great recipe for meal prep. You can make a big batch of chicken breasts and store them in the refrigerator for up to four days. The chicken breasts can be reheated in the microwave or in a skillet on the stove. They also make a great addition to salads and sandwiches.
You can also try adding different spices and herbs to the Instant Pot to give the chicken breasts a unique flavor. Try adding a pinch of cumin, chili powder, or red pepper flakes. You can also add some diced onions or garlic for an extra flavorful kick.
For a creamier sauce, you can add a few tablespoons of cream cheese or sour cream to the Instant Pot. This will add a richness to the sauce and make the chicken even more flavorful.
To make this recipe even healthier, you can use low-sodium chicken broth and skip the white wine. You can also substitute the butter for olive oil or coconut oil if you prefer.
