I have been working on converting our favorite recipes to the Instant Pot! My latest recipe for Healthy Instant Pot Chicken Piccata is my daughter’s favorite and in regular rotation in my house. This recipe is a healthier , lighted up version of what you typically get in piccata. No flour, a tablespoon of butter, and replacing wine with some white wine vinegar makes this guilt free without sacrificing any of the richness or flavor. If you don’t have an Instant Pot yet (what are you waiting for??), you can find the stove top version of this healthy chicken piccata HERE

One of the things I love the most about the Instant Pot is the sauté function. It truly is one pot cooking! Cooking with the Instant Pot can take some practice, but don’t give up! It has become my go to method of cooking, especially during the week when you can have a full dinner ready in much less time. One pot means less clean up. You can put the lid and inner pot in the dishwasher as well! Just make sure the lid goes on the top rack.
Don’t skip the sauté step. Browning the chicken for a few minutes on each side adds flavor and seals in the juices. Nobody wants dry, flavorless chicken! It is well worth the few extra minutes.
The sauce for this Healthy Instant Pot Chicken Piccata is a mixture of low sodium chicken broth, fresh lemon juice, white wine vinegar and capers. Some unsalted butter and chopped parsley is added at the end.
I get asked a lot which Instant Pot I recommend. My everyday go to is my 6 Quart Instant Pot
