When I first tried making this creamy garlic parmesan chicken in the Instant Pot, I didn’t expect it to taste like something I could’ve ordered at a cozy little restaurant. The sauce is rich, the garlic smells like it’s giving you a hug, and the parmesan just ties it all together in the way only cheese can. I’ll be honest, the first time I cooked this, I hovered nervously by the pot like it was a rocket launch, but when the timer beeped, I realized how ridiculously easy Instant Pot recipes like this can be. What makes this dish such a lifesaver is how little effort it asks for. You toss in chicken, pour in a few ingredients, and let the Instant Pot work its quiet magic. No endless stirring or worrying if the sauce is burning at the bottom of a pan. I love how forgiving this recipe is too. Didn’t measure the parmesan exactly? That’s fine. Accidentally added an extra garlic clove? Congratulations—you just made it better. For me, this recipe sits right at the sweet spot: comforting enough for a rainy day but quick enough for a weeknight when you’re juggling work, kids, or just your own tired self. If you’re dipping your toes into chicken Instant Pot recipes for the first time, this is the one to start with. It’s proof that an instant pot recipe can be both simple and downright delicious. And hey, if anyone asks, tell them you worked really hard on it—we’ll keep the secret safe.
