hey guys welcome back to another video
0:03
today I'll be showing you how to make
0:05
the best instant pot chicken breasts now
0:09
this recipe is not gonna result in a
0:12
bland white plain looking chicken breast
0:15
we're gonna sear it and then cook it to
0:18
perfection and then finish it off with a
0:21
nice red wine sauce or an instant pot
0:24
cooking chicken is super intimidating
0:26
you don't want it to be wrong it's
0:28
complicated to cook it on the pan so we
0:31
have to keep checking is it cooked or
0:34
not in the moment that you sliced that
0:36
chicken breast to see if it's cooked all
0:39
those nice juices just leak out and
0:41
you're gonna end up with a dry rubbery
0:45
chicken breast and nobody likes that the
0:47
secret to this recipe will be searing
0:49
but you're going to give it some nice
0:51
color in the instant pot and then
0:54
pressure cooking it to really lock up
0:57
all those juices in the meat so let's
0:59
get started right now so set you in spot
1:02
to saute on high so more so once the
1:09
instant pot is hot let's add some olive
1:12
oil let that oil get hot and then we're
1:15
gonna add the chicken see this on each
1:18
side or the chicken have some nice color
1:23
now can I get the same
1:25
and the other side the second is might
1:28
be another on both sides now set it
1:31
aside on a plate and they're gonna be
1:34
plays so here are some cherry tomatoes
1:55
and let this come back up to a simmer
1:58
now season this with some salt and
2:00
pepper so since the mixture is come up
2:04
to a simmer hit cancel on instant pot
2:07
add in your trivet like that place your
2:12
chicken with any juices right on there
2:16
I'm gonna close the lid make sure is in
2:21
sealing mode now select pressure cook
2:25
and cook this for eight minutes make
2:32
sure it's on high pressure timer just
2:35
went off we're gonna do a quick release
2:37
so this release the pressure pressure is
2:41
almost released as my other standards to
2:46
the big reveal the tomatoes have
2:50
completely busted open the onions look
2:53
caramelized let's carefully take our
2:55
chicken out and set it aside while we
2:58
finish up on our gravy so we're gonna
3:01
change it to sautee mode to finish up
3:05
our gravy let's change it to medium or
3:09
normal Gladys comes up to a simmer I'm
3:11
gonna add in my bouquet garni here so
3:15
this is just bunched up sage parsley
3:18
fresh thyme and some dill just gonna
3:22
drop this in our sauce here I'm gonna
3:25
come to a simmer and as it simmers all
3:28
those flavors that could be released and
3:30
I can just pick up that bouquet garni or
3:33
just a bouquet of our fresh herb
3:36
and we can discard of it and get this
3:39
nice thick fragrant gravy soft about six
3:43
to seven minutes simmering the bouquet
3:46
garni with your sauce let's take it out
3:50
you can let it be in there for longer
3:53
depending on how strong or flavor you
3:56
want in the sauce I taste this and it
3:59
was perfect for me it has just enough of
4:01
the flavors without overpowering those
4:05
tomatoes and the caramelized onions
4:07
that's add a splash of red wine use of
4:12
Marsala here and then add in a bit of
4:15
molten butter this is a nice stir you
4:19
just reduce it for a few more minutes
4:22
now as that wine reduces it's really
4:25
gonna help thicken up our sauce and that
4:28
butter that's what's gonna make our
4:30
sauce really nice velvety this gravy is
4:34
just amazing right now that butter
4:37
really helped to make it nice and smooth
4:41
- nicely reduced now let's start plating
4:46
it's gonna transfer this sauce into a
4:48
bowl just to make plate in a little
4:50
easier let's go ahead and do that this
4:53
is our delicious cooking sauce here it's
4:56
nice and thick tomatoey
5:00
something nice wine it's gonna be
5:03
amazing with our seared chicken so now
5:05

5:11
