Instant Pot Chicken Bruschetta Recipe

Instant Pot Chicken Bruschetta is one of our absolute favorite flavor combinations! We have always loved Caprese Salad (tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and balsamic). This is so similar, but with parmesan instead of mozzarella, so this Bruschetta Chicken recipe is just as delicious.

We actually made Grilled Bruschetta Chicken with Caprese flavors back in the day, but this was our first time trying it in an Instant Pot. And it works like a charm! Less than 30 minutes and you’ve got this delicious meal ready to serve!

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 4-5 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts about 2 pounds
  • Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons good olive oil divided
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 French baguette diagonally sliced, buttered & toasted

For the Tomato Topping:

  • 1 pint red grape or cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon freshly minced basil leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For Garnish:

  • Chopped Fresh Basil Leaves
  • Freshly Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • Balsamic Vinegar or Balsamic Reduction

Instructions

For the Chicken:

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt & pepper. Set the Instant Pot to “Sauté”. When hot, add the olive oil and allow the oil to heat 30 seconds. Place half the chicken breasts in the bottom of the pot and cook 3 minutes per side. Transfer the seared chicken to a plate. Pour 1-tablespoon oil in the pot and sear the remaining breasts.

  • Add the garlic to the pot and sauté 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth and white wine while scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spatula. Place the seared chicken in the pot, and sprinkle it with Italian seasoning. Turn off the Instant Pot, and cover it with the lid. Set the valve on the lid to the LOCK position.

  • Select the “Manual” button, HIGH pressure and set the timer for 6 minutes. When the cook time ends, turn off the Instant Pot. Let the pressure release naturally 5 minutes, cover the pot with a dishcloth and open the release valve. The lid is safe to remove when the red valve drops.

  • While the chicken cooks, prepare the Tomato Bruschetta topping:

  • In a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, olive oil, fresh basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

To Serve:

  • Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, top with Bruschetta tomato topping and freshly shredded Parmesan. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and a couple of slices of toasted baguette.

  • Enjoy!

FAQs

Why is my chicken breast rubbery in Instant Pot? ›

If your boneless chicken breast winds up with a weird, rubbery texture, it probably means that you need to cook it longer. In general, the Instant Pot does better with longer cook times for meat.

Can chicken breasts be stacked in instant pot? ›

For even cooking stack your chicken breasts on top of each other cross ways. Or if possible lay the chicken in one even layer on the trivet. If you don't have a trivet you can lay your chicken directly in the bottom of the pot with the liquid. Lots of liquid releases from chicken.

Can you overcook chicken in a pressure cooker? ›

Because chicken breast is so lean, just a couple of extra minutes of cook time turns them from juicy to overcooked and dry. Thighs, on the other hand, are a fattier cut, and not prone to dry out as quickly even after an extra minute or two of cooking.

Does pressure cooked chicken make it tender? ›

By placing cooking liquid in the bottom of the pressure cooker and placing the chicken in the steamer basket above the liquid, you are guaranteed tender, moist chicken every time.

Does chicken have to be covered in liquid in Instant Pot? ›

You can cook chicken breasts in whatever size instant pot you have. Just make sure you add at least 1 cup of liquid, and then place the chicken in the pot in a single layer.

Does chicken need to be submerged in Instant Pot? ›

Submerging the chicken method is great for shredding in enchiladas, etc; while cooking the chicken on the trivet creates a firmer chicken that can be sliced for salads, etc. Place 1 cup of water in the base of the pressure cooker liner.

Can you cook chicken in Instant Pot without liquid? ›

Cooking chicken without liquid in a pressure cooker may result in burning, scorching or unevenly cooked chicken. To cook chicken in a pressure cooker, you will need to add at least a small amount of liquid, such as water or broth, to the pot.

How do you fix rubbery chicken breast? ›

Fat and liquid are absent from rubbery chicken, so in order to restore that balance, it's essential to add those two factors back in. An easy way to do so is by shredding the chicken to break down its protein fibers, then mixing the result with stock and lard.

Why is my chicken breast tough and chewy? ›

Overcooking or cooking at too high a temperature can result in tough, dry chicken. Undercooking can leave chicken undercooked and chewy. Proper cooking techniques, such as roasting, grilling, or braising, can help maintain moisture and tenderness.

How do you make chicken not rubbery and tender? ›

Brines and marinades help tenderize the meat by bringing more moisture in the protein. With that extra moisture, you lose less when you cook. The simplest way to do this is with a dry brine — unwrap the chicken breasts, salt them on both sides and let them sit in the fridge for at least an hour.
