Welcome Back!!!
This #shorts chicken skillet recipe is an Italian style Instant Pot dinner that is finished in the oven in a cast iron skillet! Best of Both Worlds in this recipe – using the Instant Pot to brown and cook the chicken and sauce, and then a skillet to finish the recipe. You will love the tomato sauce flavored with onion, garlic, basil and balsamic – I even used the extra sauce for soup!!!
Today I am using chicken breast pieces but you could also use chicken thighs! Whatever you have on hand!! I love to serve this with pasta and garlic bread – you will just have to believe me that I had some salad before serving this!
