Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 8 oz Swiss cheese sliced
  • 8 oz ham sliced
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs plain or panko
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 pieces eggs beaten
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp butter unsalted

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket but do not cut all the way through.
  • Stuff each pocket with two slices of ham and two slices of Swiss cheese.
  • Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  • Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté setting and melt the butter. Lightly brown each chicken breast on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the pot, then add chicken broth and Dijon mustard, scraping the bottom to deglaze.
  • Place the chicken breasts back in the pot. Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  • Perform a quick pressure release, then remove the chicken breasts. Stir in heavy cream to the sauce and simmer for 2 minutes to thicken.
  • Serve the chicken with the creamy Dijon sauce poured over top.

Notes

For an extra crispy crust, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes after pressure cooking.
