Juicy Instant Pot Lemon Rosemary Chicken Breasts Delight

This dish brings joy to any meal. The lemon and rosemary flavors mix well with chicken. Here is how to make this tasty dish using the Instant Pot.

First, gather the ingredients:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 lemon, juiced and zested

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 cups chicken broth

- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1 teaspoon paprika

- Zest of 1 lemon for garnish

- Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish

Start by drying the chicken breasts with paper towels. This step helps the seasonings stick. Next, season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Now, set your Instant Pot to 'Sauté.' Add the olive oil and let it heat up. When hot, sear the chicken breasts for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Look for a nice golden brown color. If you have many pieces, do this in batches. Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside.

In the same pot, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds. You want to smell the garlic but not burn it.

Now, pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Scrape the bottom of the pot to get any brown bits. This adds flavor.

Return the chicken breasts to the pot. Sprinkle the chopped rosemary over the chicken. Close the lid, set the valve to 'Sealing,' and choose 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook.' Set the time for 8 minutes on high pressure.

When the time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes. After that, switch the valve to 'Venting' to let out any remaining pressure.

Carefully take the chicken breasts out and let them rest. If you want a thicker sauce, switch back to 'Sauté.' Let the sauce simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. Stir occasionally and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Finally, serve the chicken breasts with the lemon-rosemary sauce. Garnish with lemon zest and fresh rosemary sprigs for a lovely touch. Enjoy this simple yet gourmet dish!
