Ingredients
- 3 medium chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 3 1/2 tablespoons Everything But The Bagel Seasoning, divided
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix 1/2 tablespoon of Everything But the Bagel Seasoning, cream cheese, and red pepper flakes.
- Score each chicken breast about eight times.
- Between each slit, add in your cream cheese mixture.
- Take the rest of your Everything But The Bagel Seasoning and add to your food processor. Sprinkle on top of each chicken breast.
- Create a boat with your aluminum foil with the chicken breast inside each one.
- Add one and a half cups of water to your Instant Pot. Place the trivet inside and add each chicken breast-covered aluminum foil to your Instant Pot. If you have a tall trivet, you can add that in for the third breast to rest on. If not, they can lay on top of one another.
- Cook for 18 minutes under high pressure. Once the chicken is done, allow them to naturally release for about five minutes, followed by a quick release by pulling the valve to release pressure.
- Insert a food thermometer to make sure that each chicken breast is 165°.
- Sprinkle some more Everything But the Seasoning on Top, before serving.
- Plate, serve, and enjoy!
