Instructions

  • Season the thin chicken cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess.
  • Heat olive oil in your pressure cooker’s sauté mode. Add chicken, cook about 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Set chicken aside.
  • Drop in butter, add minced garlic and cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in chicken stock and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add heavy cream and stir. Mix in parmesan cheese, chili flakes, oregano, thyme, and sundried tomatoes.
  • Put chicken back in and lock the lid. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes with natural release.
  • Open lid and spoon sauce over chicken. Sprinkle fresh basil on top.
  • Serve alongside pasta, mashed potatoes, or bread.
  • Store leftovers tightly sealed in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain sauce texture.

Notes

Serve warm over pasta or rice. Use sun-dried tomato oil when sautéing garlic for extra flavor. Cutlets can be made by slicing chicken breast horizontally.
