Follow The Directions

01

Step

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add oil and roasted garlic to the pot; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.

02

Step

Season one side of chicken breasts with 1/2 each garlic and herb seasoning, garlic salt, and black pepper. Place breasts into the pot, seasoned-side down. Cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Season top side breasts with remaining 1/2 each garlic and herb seasoning, garlic salt, and black pepper. Flip and cook until other side is browned, about 2 minutes.

03

Step

Arrange artichoke hearts and olives around chicken breasts in the pot, filling in any gaps on bottom and top of breasts; top with red onion. Pour dressing over chicken breasts.

04

Step

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

05

Step

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

06

Step

Remove chicken breasts from the pot. Whisk arrowroot starch into the liquid in the pot until combined. Return breasts to the pot. Allow sauce to thicken, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper; top with feta cheese.

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in a bit of the Greek salad dressing for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you don't have roasted garlic on hand, you can substitute with 3 cloves of minced fresh garlic. Just be sure to watch it closely during the saute step to prevent burning.
Adjust the amount of arrowroot starch depending on your desired sauce consistency. For a thicker sauce, use a bit more; for a thinner sauce, use less.
Serve this dish with a side of rice, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.

    I didn't have Kalamata olives, so I used green olives instead. It was still delicious!

    I added a squeeze of lemon juice at the end and it brightened up the flavors even more.

  • Billie Zulauf

    The sauce was a little thin for my liking, so I used a bit more arrowroot starch.
