Things You’ll Need
-
4 fresh chicken breasts
-
1/2 cup flour
-
3/4 cup fresh Parmesan cheese
-
2 tablespoons garlic salt
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
Pepper to taste
-
1/4 cup olive oil
-
3 cups tomato sauce
-
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
-
Pasta or rice
Step 1: Bread Chicken
Mix together flour, Parmesan, garlic salt, oregano, and pepper in a small bowl. Coat each chicken breast in olive oil and then dip in the flour mixture, breading both sides. Set aside.
Step 2: Saute Chicken
Select "Saute" button on the pressure cooker. Pour in remaining olive oil. Place chicken breasts in the pot and cook both sides until brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes each side. Select the "Cancel" button to turn off.
Step 3: Cook Chicken
Pour tomato sauce over chicken. Lock the lid and flip the valve to "Sealing." Push the "Manual" button and set the time to 12 minutes on high pressure. When chicken is done, release the valve to "Venting" to quick release the steam. Sprinkle mozzarella on top and replace lid another 5 minutes to let the cheese melt. Serve over pasta, rice, or quinoa while warm.
