  • 1 cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic (finely minced)
  • 2 cups yukon gold potatoes (peeled+ cut into 1 inch pieces)

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Set Instant Pot to regular sauté function. Add olive oil to the pot. Lightly sear the chicken breasts on each side about 2 minutes. Remove the breasts to a plate and set aside. The chicken will not be cooked through, but this is ok.

  3. Lay the chicken breasts on top of the vegetable/small potato mixture. Add large potato quarters on top of chicken. Pour in chicken broth.
  4. Turn the Instant Pot to High Pressure (manual on older models), sealing and cook for 9 minutes. Once the soup cooks, allow it to natural release for 5 minutes. Manually release the rest of the pressure after 5 minutes.

  8. Stir together until combined and smooth. Garnish with parsley and serve.
