Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup fat free buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 8 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese divided
  • 1 pound boneless skinless thinly sliced chicken breasts (you should have 4)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 (32 oz) carton chicken broth
  • 1 (16 oz) box spaghetti noodles broken in half and tossed in 1 tablespoon oil
  • 4 tablespoons pasta sauce + more for serving
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Whisk together flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper on a large shallow plate. Set aside.
  • Beat egg, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk together panko, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, Italian seasoning, basil, and 6 tablespoons parmesan cheese on another large shallow plate. Set aside.
  • Bread breasts in flour, eggs, then breadcrumb mixture, then place onto a clean work surface and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Add 1/4 cup olive oil into a 6 quart Instant Pot, then hit SAUTE.
  • Once it reads HOT, add in 2 breaded breasts and brown for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Remove and set aside on a clean work surface.
  • Repeat with remaining oil and chicken.
  • Hit CANCEL on the Instant Pot.
  • Pour in broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. This will prevent a BURN reading.
  • Add in oil coated uncooked noodles, then stir to combine. Be sure the noodles are fully submerged.
  • Top with the Instant Pot trivet and add chicken on top (stacking will be necessary).
  • Close and lock the lid - make sure the pressure valve is pointing to SEALING.
  • Cook on HIGH pressure for 5 minutes, then flip the valve to quick release the pressure.
  • Remove chicken breasts and place onto a silicone mat lined baking sheet.
  • Top each breast with 1 tablespoon pasta sauce, 1 slice provolone, 1 tablespoon mozzarella, and 1/2 tablespoon parmesan.
  • Broil until the cheese has melted, then serve with pasta (use tongs to break up any clumps) and more sauce, as desired!
  • Take 5 seconds to rate this recipe below. We greatly appreciate it!

Notes


Bottom chicken breasts will be softer from sitting in the chicken broth - that’s ok!
