Instant Pot Chicken Scampi<\/strong> has a creamy, garlicky sauce finished with parmesan and tender chicken. It\u2019s a super easy family-friendly dinner to serve over pasta ready in about 30 minutes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2764\ufe0f Why You’ll Love This Recipe: <\/strong>This Chicken Scampi recipe is packed with flavor, and even with a brief saut\u00e9ing at the beginning, the dish is ready in 30 to 45 minutes. The creamy, rich sauce tastes like it\u2019s been cooking for hours.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is our version of the Olive Garden favorite. It includes everything you love about the restaurant version, including a creamy, garlicky sauce and cheesy finish, but it\u2019s made in under an hour in the Instant Pot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is one of our favorite chicken Instant Pot recipes<\/a>. Serve it up with Instant Pot White Rice<\/a>, pasta, or your favorite starch.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n The ingredients for this chicken and pasta recipe are easy to find!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 This easy recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker<\/strong>, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by seasoning the chicken<\/strong>. Combine the garlic, onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Then add the chicken and coat fully.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you plan to serve this over pasta, don’t forget to put the water on to boil<\/strong> about now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, heat the oil<\/strong> in the pressure cooking pot. Add the onion and peppers<\/strong> and cook until soft, then transfer to a plate. Add the remaining butter and oil, then saut\u00e9 the chicken<\/strong>. Work in batches to brown the chicken on all sides. Then transfer to a separate plate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n TIP:<\/strong> Make sure you scrape out all of the onions and peppers before you add any of the chicken; any left in there will burn by the time the chicken is done cooking. (I was hurrying to take a photo before the light changed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, if at any time the browning on the bottom of the pot starts to look too dark, add some water and scrape well to prevent it from burning. Better too little browning than too much.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Deglaze the pot by adding the wine<\/strong>, then cook for a minute. Add the chicken broth, then return the chicken and vegetables to the pot. Pressure cook for 3 minutes<\/strong>. When the cook time ends, release with a quick pressure release.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remove the lid from the pressure cooker. To thicken the chicken scampi<\/strong>, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce in the Instant Pot. When it\u2019s thickened, turn off the pressure cooker. Gradually stir in the parmesan cheese<\/strong>, a little at a time, until it\u2019s melted. Add the heavy cream<\/strong> and stir until well combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep these tips in mind when making this recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We like to serve this chicken and bell pepper dish over angel hair or spaghetti. You could also serve it with toasted bread, mashed potatoes, or another grain.\u00a0 Let leftover chicken scampi cool fully, then transfer to an airtight container. Store it in the fridge for up to four days. You can reheat in the microwave or in the Instant Pot to serve.\u00a0 If you\u2019d like to swap out the bell peppers for another veggie, it\u2019s easy to do. You could use onions or leeks, carrots, or mushrooms.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Try these other popular pressure cooker chicken recipes next:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you LOVE this recipe? <\/strong><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
