Ingredients
For this Instant Pot Cranberry Chicken recipe, you will need the following ingredients: 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into cubes; 1 cup cranberry sauce; 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon onion powder; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1/4 teaspoon salt; and 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped.
Instructions
To make this Instant Pot Cranberry Chicken, begin by combining the cranberry sauce, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they are combined. Place the diced chicken in a large resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and mix the ingredients together until the chicken is evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
Once the chicken has marinated, place it into the Instant Pot. Close the lid and turn the valve to the “sealing” position. Set the Instant Pot to “pressure cook” on high pressure for 10 minutes. When the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before carefully turning the valve to the “venting” position to release any remaining pressure. Open the lid and transfer the chicken to a serving dish.
To serve, spoon the cranberry sauce over the chicken and top with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
