The chicken that looks like I tried harder

This is the chicken I make when dinner should look like I put in some effort. Cream sauce, spinach, tomatoes in the sauce. It looks like a restaurant plate. It is not a restaurant amount of work.

The chicken itself cooks plain, in broth with garlic. The sauce gets built after, in the same pot. One pot to wash, and it still feels like a big deal at the table.

Cream goes in after the pressure

Pressure cook the chicken for 8 minutes. Let it sit 5 minutes, then open the valve and let the rest of the steam out. Take the chicken out and check it reads 165°F.

Simmer the broth down a bit on Sauté. Then add the cream and the sun dried tomatoes and cook gently until the sauce coats a spoon. Cream goes in after the pressure on purpose. Under pressure it can split and turn grainy.

Turn the heat off. Stir in the spinach until it wilts and the parmesan until it melts. Put the chicken back in the sauce and serve. Pasta, rice, or bread all work under it. I usually go with bread, for the sauce.
