Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan

This quick and easy Chicken Parmesan is the answer to your weeknight dreams!! And since it's made in the Instant Pot, it's ready in minutes!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1-1/2 cups prepared marinara sauce
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 thin chicken cutlets (12 ounces total)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, grated
  • Chopped basil, for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Using the sauté function (on low, if possible), heat the oil in the pressure cooker pot. Stir in the garlic and cook until just turning golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the marinara sauce, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  2. Increase the sauté heat to medium.
  3. Season the chicken with the salt, oregano, and pepper to taste. Nestle the cutlets into the sauce, overlapping as little as possible, then spoon the sauce over to cover the chicken.
  4. Lock the lid into place and cook on low pressure for 3 minutes. Manually release the pressure.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella and the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan evenly over the chicken. Cover the pot with the lid (but don’t lock it on) and let it sit for 4 to 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
  6. Serve as is or, for deeper flavors and a little bit of crispiness, broil the cheese until golden and bubbling: Heat the broiler with a rack 4 inches from the heat source. Scoop the chicken and sauce into a greased small rimmed baking sheet, trying to keep the cheese on top. Broil until the cheese has browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with basil, if desired.

Creamy Keto Potato Salad - Keto Recipes

There are a few foods that I have never been able to bring myself to buy pre-made. Guacamole is one because the amount of work involved is worth the fresh taste. The other is potato salad. Why would I buy a pre-made potato salad that I eventually doctor up by adding more spices, more mustard, and more time when I could have just prepared it myself? Well, in theory anyway. Sure, I hate buying potato salad but nine times out of ten I wouldn’t actually make it either because it is time consuming! Anyone who has ever made fresh potato salad knows there is a fine line between under cooked taters and mashed potato salad. No thanks. Luckily, since I’ve been enlightened in the ways of ketogenic living I’ve also fell in love with “potato salad” all over again and now it’s easier than ever! The beauty about swapping out the starchy root vegetable for cauliflower florets is in the cooking and prep time. No more peeling and boiling potatoes that need time to cool and rest before you’ve f...

Zinedine Zidane confirmed as new Real Madrid manager

Zinedine Zidane is back as Real Madrid manager, signing a contract until June 30, 2022. Shock reports from Spain emerged on Monday afternoon that Zidane had agreed to take over from Santiago Solari at the Bernabeu. Los Blancos have suffered a nightmare March with defeats to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi final and La Liga, leaving them 12 points off the top. And when they lost 4-1 to Ajax in their Champions League last-16 second leg, there was no way back for Solari. Sunday’s 4-1 win against Valladolid did nothing to save his job. But now, Zidane is back at the helm just 10 months after leaving the club. The Frenchman led Real to three consecutive Champions League titles before announcing his decision to leave. But when he left, Zidane hinted that he could return one day. “Of course, I could return, I’ll always be near to this club as it’s close to my heart,” he said back in May. He probably didn’t expect it to be quite so soon, though. A statement ...
