- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, breasts or a combo
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped rosemary
- ¼ cup unsalted butter divided
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
Blot the chicken dry. Combine the salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl and sprinkle over the chicken. (If you have time, allow to sit uncovered in the refrigerator for an hour or overnight.)
Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and rosemary to the pot and stir to combine. Add the chicken and seal the lid. Select high pressure and set the time for 4 minutes. (Increase to 10 minutes if you want to skip browning.)
When the timer is up do a quick release.
Remove the chicken from the pot. Hit cancel, and then select high sauté. Bring the liquid to a simmer and then add 3 tablespoons of the butter and xanthan gum. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes, and then remove the sauce from the pot. Wipe the pot clean.
Optional - Brown the Chicken
Return the pot to the heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer should register 165 °F.
Serve the chicken with the rosemary sauce on top.
