Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan

By: Terita

Classic Italian flavor in your Instant Pot! Fall in love with the simplicity of this juicy, tender chicken coated in breading and smothered in a savory tomato sauce and cheese. 

Call it Chicken Parmesan, or call it Chicken Parmigiana. Just make sure you call it a totally delicious, classic Italian dinner. We took this yummy, beloved dish that many families wouldn’t dream of attempting on a busy weeknight, and turned it into an easy, fast (we’re talking 15 minutes of hands-on time) Instant Pot meal.

Tender, juicy Chicken Parmesan makes a super healthy main course you can feel confident serving your kids. Unlike some recipes that fry the chicken cutlets in a whole lotta butter and oil, this one uses the magic of the Instant Pot to tenderize the meat right in the savory sauce.

If you’ve tried our famous All-in-One Instant Pot Brown Chicken and Brown Rice and loved it, now it’s time for an Instant Pot chicken redux. Get your cheese-sprinkling fingers (and your taste buds) ready… it’s dinner time!

How to Make Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan

First, dredge some chicken breasts in egg white. Then coat it in a simple mixture of panko crumbs, Parmesan cheese (the kind in the jar is OK!), and Italian seasoning.

Set your Instant Pot to “Saute” and brown the crusted chicken in a bit of olive oil.

Then pour the tomato sauce over the browned chicken. This is the liquid the Instant Pot needs to reach pressure, and you shouldn’t need to add anything else. Lock the lid, set it for 15 minutes, and then you get to walk away!

What will you do while dinner cooks itself? Tidy up your kitchen, throw together a side dish, hang with your kids, or steal a moment to scroll through Facebook? Take your pick, hard-working moms and dads.

What to Serve with Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan can top pasta, sure. But we think the best accompaniment for this dish is a fresh green veggie. Try serving your Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan with one of these healthy, nutrient-dense sides:

You can, of course, still serve your Chicken Parmesan over pasta. We recommend whole wheat spaghetti for extra fiber and vitamins, and because whole wheat pairs perfectly with the hearty red sauce.
