Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs
  • cup almond flour
  • cup grated parmesan cheese divided
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup avocado oil

Vegetables and Sauce

  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • cup sundried tomatoes chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth or white wine
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Optional: goat cheese for topping

Instructions

  • Place the chicken in a zip-top bag and pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet. (If you are using chicken thighs, minimal pounding will be necessary.)
  • Combine the almond flour, 1 /3 cup of parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
  • Coat the chicken in the flour mixture using your hands to press the coating into the chicken.

Stovetop Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet to medium heat and add the oil. Heat to about 350° F.
  • Cook for about 7 minutes per side until the chicken is a deep golden brown. The internal temperature should be about 160° F.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and tent with foil.
  • Add the spinach and sundried tomatoes to the pan and cook until the spinach wilts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
  • Add the broth to the pan, and scrape up any browned bits.
  • Add the lemon juice, heavy cream, and remaining ⅓ cup of parmesan cheese.
  • Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the cheese melts.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, and coat with the sauce.

Instant Pot Instructions

  • Heat your pressure cooker to medium-saute and add the oil.
  • Once the Instant Pot is preheated, add the chicken.
  • Cook for about 2 minutes per side until lightly browned.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot. Add more oil if necessary.
  • Add the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes and saute until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
  • Add the chicken broth or wine to the pot. Use a wooden spoon and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.
  • Hit cancel.
  • Add the heavy cream. Add the trivet to the pot and place the chicken on top of the trivet. Seal the pot and set to high pressure for 2 minutes.
  • Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, and then do an instant release. Remove the chicken from the pot using tongs, and then remove the trivet.
  • Add the lemon juice and remaining ⅓ cup of parmesan cheese and cover. Let sit covered for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
  • Return the chicken to the Instant Pot and coat with the sauce.
