Instant Pot Lemon Chicken

Step 1

Thaw chicken in the refrigerator. Season your chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

I like to brown the chicken in olive oil for just a few minutes in my cast iron pan.

Step 3

Add the olive oil to the bottom of the Instant Pot first and then press the Sauté function. Sear the chicken on each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Once you brown the chicken, remove from pan or pot and set aside.

Step 5

Melt the butter inside the Instant Pot and then add in onions, garlic cloves, chicken broth, lemon juice, and Italian Seasoning.

Step 6

Place the chicken into the Instant Pot, and select the Poultry setting. If your Instant Pot is larger, or if you are using more chicken, you may need a little more chicken broth or water to prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Using 1/3 cup of liquid worked perfectly for me but adjust if needed.

Step 7

Once the chicken is done, let the steam release using a long wooden spoon or other long-handled utensil and always be careful of the steam while it is releasing!

Step 8

I add in lemon slices to warm them up after the chicken is cooked. A tip I saw on a cooking show is to roll the lemons around before cutting them to release the juice.

Step 9

Garnish with additional lemon slices if desired and serve hot with your favorite sides.
