Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStart 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\nIf you plan to serve this over pasta, don’t forget to put the water on to boil<\/strong> about now!<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeanwhile, 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\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\nAlso, 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\nRemove 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 <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nImportant Tips for Making Instant Pot Chicken Scampi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Keep these tips in mind when making this recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s important to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pressure cooking pot to avoid a burn notice. We deglaze with a dry white wine, but you can skip this step and just use extra chicken broth if you like. I love the flavor that the wine adds, though. <\/li> If the sauce doesn\u2019t thicken as soon as you stir in the cornstarch mixture, use the Saut\u00e9 function to heat it through. Stir well until the sauce is thick and coats the chicken.\u00a0 <\/li> If you don\u2019t have Italian seasoning, you can make a simple blend with equal parts oregano, basil, marjoram and rosemary.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
